Zesty Lemon-Garlic Chicken Skewers with Avocado-Cilantro Cream

In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and add them to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. While the chicken marinates, prepare the avocado-cilantro cream by blending ripe avocados, fresh cilantro, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt in a food processor until smooth.

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve the chicken skewers with a generous drizzle of the avocado-cilantro cream on top, and garnish with lime wedges and extra cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.
