Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless chicken breast
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Yellow bell pepper
- 1 large Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, start by soaking them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.
Cut the boneless chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Chop the red and yellow bell peppers into 1-inch pieces. Peel and cut the red onion into similar-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, ground cumin, ground paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and mix until well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.
Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F or 200°C).
Thread the marinated chicken pieces, alternating with pieces of red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion onto the skewers.
Place the skewers on the grill or a baking sheet if using an oven. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked with a nice char on the edges.
Remove the skewers from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes.
Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro.
