Kebab Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Cut the boneless chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces and add them to the marinade. Ensure all pieces are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

  3. 3

    Prepare Vegetables

    While the chicken is marinating, cut the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion into 1-inch pieces.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Skewers

    Soak the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes if using. Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables alternately onto the skewers.

  5. 5

    Cook the Kebabs

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce or flatbreads.
