Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 Green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 Red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 pint Cherry tomatoes
- 8 Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more intense flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
While the grill heats, thread the marinated chicken cubes, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers, alternating ingredients as desired.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning every few minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and is cooked through.
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious grilled chicken kabobs with a side of choice.
