Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 1 large Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, about 1-inch each, and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
Wash and dice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion into similarly sized 1-inch pieces for even cooking.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Thread the chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, alternating with pieces of bell peppers and onion to create colorful kebabs.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (or preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C if roasting).
If grilling, place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). If roasting, place the skewers on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Remove the skewers from the heat and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a side of rice, pita bread, or a fresh salad.
