Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole Red bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 whole Green bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 whole Red onion, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Begin by soaking wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and stir to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to infuse.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
While the grill is heating, prepare the vegetables. Cut the red and green bell peppers and red onion into 1-inch pieces.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes, bell pepper pieces, and red onion pieces onto the soaked skewers, alternating between chicken and vegetables until each skewer is filled.
Once the grill is hot, place the kebabs on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks on all sides.
Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.
Serve the kebabs hot, garnished with additional lemon wedges or fresh herbs if desired.
