Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 piece Red bell pepper
- 1 piece Yellow bell pepper
- 1 piece Zucchini
- 1 piece Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, about 1.5-inch pieces.
Slice the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into similar-sized chunks for even cooking.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and mix well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between chicken, bell peppers, zucchini, and onion for an appealing color pattern.
Grill the skewers for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C).
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the chicken kabobs warm with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside rice, salad, or flatbread.
