Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (approximately 2 pounds) Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves (minced) Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 large (cut into 1-inch squares) Red bell pepper
- 2 large (cut into 1-inch squares) Green bell pepper
- 1 large (cut into wedges) Red onion
- 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and mix well to ensure the chicken is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes, red bell pepper pieces, green bell pepper pieces, and red onion wedges onto the skewers, alternating them as desired for a colorful presentation.
Place the kabobs on the preheated grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes to ensure even cooking. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and has a nice char on the outside.
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Garlic Grilled Chicken Kabobs warm with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, salad, or grilled vegetables.
