Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pieces red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 pieces green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 piece red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the bowl with the marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables by cutting the red bell peppers, green bell peppers, and red onion into 1-inch pieces.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Assemble the brochettes by threading the marinated chicken cubes and the prepared vegetables alternately onto the skewers.
Grill the brochettes for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C).
Remove the brochettes from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the marinated chicken brochettes hot with your choice of dipping sauce, rice, or a fresh salad.
