Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large red onion
- 2 large bell peppers (any color)
- 8 (soaked in water for 30 minutes) wooden skewers
Instructions
Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh parsley, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces and toss to ensure all the chicken is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, peel and cut the red onion into wedges. Also, core and cut the bell peppers into 1-inch pieces.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes, onion wedges, and bell pepper pieces onto the soaked skewers, alternating as desired.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are charred and tender.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled chicken skewers warm, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
