In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, 2 tbsp. olive oil, 2 tbsp. chopped basil, mint, oregano, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces then add to the bowl and toss in the marinade. Cover the bowl and let marinate in the fridge for one hour to overnight, if time allows.
Divide the chicken pieces between wooden skewers.
Either sear the chicken skewers over medium high heat in a skillet with olive oil or cook on the grill.
To make the basil rice, combine the remaining one cup fresh basil, 2 tbsp. olive oil, grated parmesan, and (optional) lemon juice to taste in a high-speed blender. Add ¼ cup water. Blend until smooth.
Stir the basil sauce into the cooked basmati rice.
Serve the cooked chicken skewers with the basil rice. Enjoy warm with Vita Ice Black Raspberry for a complementary refreshment!
