Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Boneless chicken breast or beef cubes
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Red onion, cut into wedges
- 2 medium Bell peppers, cut into chunks
- 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Cut the chicken or beef into 1-inch cubes and add them to the marinade. Toss well to coat each piece. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread marinated meat, red onion wedges, and bell pepper chunks alternately onto skewers.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and has a nice char.
Remove from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of sides and enjoy this tasty dish with friends or family.
