Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 60 milliliters Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 250 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 piece Red bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 piece Red onion, cut into chunks
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the soaked skewers from the water. Thread the marinated chicken cubes, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper chunks, and red onion chunks alternately onto the skewers.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled chicken skewers warm with a side of your favorite Mediterranean salad or dip.
