👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breast into uniform 1.5-inch cubes.
2. Grate the onion or slice it very thinly, then squeeze it to extract its juice; you can discard the solids or include them in the marinade.
3. In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces, onion juice (or slices), fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and crushed saffron threads.
4. Season generously with salt and black pepper, then mix thoroughly to ensure all chicken pieces are well-coated.
5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the marinated chicken for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, for optimal flavor development.
6. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the chicken pieces onto skewers, making sure not to overcrowd them.
7. Grill the kebabs for 10-15 minutes, turning them frequently, until the chicken is cooked through, tender, and slightly charred.
8. Serve hot, optionally with grilled tomatoes, rice, or fresh herbs.
