Instructions

  1. Wash the chicken breast fillets, pat dry and cut into 24 cubes.
  2. Zest the lemon. Squeeze the lemon. Roughly chop the parsley.
  3. Mix the lemon juice with the oil, lemon zest, parsley, salt and pepper. If desired, add 1 finely chopped chilli pepper to the marinade.
  4. Place the chicken cubes in a freezer bag with the marinade, seal it, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  5. Peel and quarter the shallots. Halve the bacon slices.
  6. Wrap each chicken cube with half a slice of bacon. Thread the bacon-wrapped chicken pieces and shallot quarters onto skewers, with 3 meat pieces and 2 shallot quarters per skewer.
  7. Grill the skewers over medium-high heat or pan-fry over medium-high heat for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F). Do not overcook or the meat will dry out.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
