Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 1 large red onion
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 whole garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Cut each chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.
Core the red and green bell peppers and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
Peel and quarter the red onion, separating the layers.
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic cloves, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken cubes in a large resealable plastic bag or bowl and pour the marinade over them. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Marinate for at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F or 200°C).
Thread the marinated chicken cubes, red and green bell pepper pieces, red onion layers, and cherry tomatoes alternately onto the soaked skewers.
Once the grill is hot, place the skewers on the grill grates and cook for approximately 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are slightly charred.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 3 minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled chicken brochettes hot with your choice of side dishes, such as a fresh salad or quinoa.
