Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 lb lean beef sirloin
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 1 medium red onion
- 20 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 8 pieces skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts and beef sirloin into equal-sized 1-inch cubes.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the cubed chicken and beef to the marinade, ensuring that each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
While the meats are marinating, cut the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion into 1-inch pieces.
Alternate threading chicken, beef, bell peppers, onion, and cherry tomatoes onto skewers.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meats are cooked through and vegetables are slightly charred.
Transfer the skewers to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
