--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1       pound         chicken breasts, cut into 1/2 inch cubes 
  1       clove         garlic, peeled and crushed 
    3/4   teaspoon      salt 
    1/4   teaspoon      cinnamon 
    1/4   teaspoon      black pepper 
    1/4   teaspoon      allspice 
  2       Tablespoons   olive oil 
  3       Tablespoons   lemon juice 
                        glass bowl with cover
                        skewers -- metal or wood
 

Preparation:

1. In a bowl combine the cubed chicken, garlic, salt, cinnamon, black pepper, allspice, oil and lemon juice, mix well, cover (you can use saran wrap) and marinate for 3-6 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

2. 30 minutes before grilling remove from refrigerator, allowing it to reach room temperature.

3. Thread onto skewers (if using wood or bamboo, soak, weighted so water covers, for about 1/2 hour, first).

4. Grill over medium charcoal fire, basting and turning several times, until delicately browned.

5. You can also grill in the oven: pre-heat the grill. Place chicken on skewers over an oven sheet and cook until browned (6-8 minutes), turning skewers and basting occasionally with the marinade to keep moist.
