Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 red onion, cut into chunks
- 2 bell peppers, assorted colors, cut into chunks
- 8 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
Cut the boneless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, ground turmeric, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the chicken pieces into the marinade and toss until they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the red onion and bell peppers by cutting them into similar-sized chunks.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken, onion, and bell peppers onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating between each ingredient.
Place the skewers onto the preheated grill and cook for about 10 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
