Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless chicken breasts or thighs
- 2 medium bell peppers
- 1 large red onion
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 8 pieces bamboo or metal skewers
Instructions
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Cut the chicken into 1.5-inch cubes and place in a large bowl.
Core and deseed the bell peppers, then cut into similar-sized pieces as the chicken.
Peel and cut the red onion into chunks, slightly separating the layers.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
Pour the marinade over the chicken, bell peppers, and onion pieces. Toss to ensure everything is coated evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor development.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the marinated ingredients from the fridge. Thread onto skewers, alternating between pieces of chicken, bell pepper, and onion.
Lightly oil the grilling grates to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for approximately 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are slightly charred.
Remove skewers from the grill and let rest for a few minutes. Serve warm, with your favorite dairy-free dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad.
