Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 whole red bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 whole yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 whole red onion, cut into wedges
- 12 pieces wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and mix well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably longer for better flavor absorption.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, alternating with chunks of red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill.
Grill the kabobs for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled chicken kabobs hot, and enjoy your flavorful, dairy-free meal!
