Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 piece red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 piece green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 piece red onion, cut into chunks
- 8 pieces wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and mix well to ensure each piece is coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 3 hours for more flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the bell peppers and onion by cutting them into 1-inch pieces, similar in size to the chicken pieces.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, and onions onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating between the ingredients to create a colorful pattern.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the preheated grill.
Grill the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks, and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot with a side of your choice, such as a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
