Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, and onion onto the skewers, alternating between the chicken and vegetables.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for longer if time allows.
- Ensure the grill is hot before putting the skewers on for better searing.
