Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak Wooden Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

  2. 2

    Cube Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1 inch in size.

  3. 3

    Chop Vegetables

    Cut the bell peppers into chunks and slice the red onion into wedges.

Marination

  1. 4

    Prepare Marinade

    In a bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cumin to create a marinade.

  2. 5

    Marinate Chicken

    Add the cubed chicken to the marinade and toss until well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. 6

    Assemble Skewers

    Thread the marinated chicken, bell pepper chunks, and onion wedges onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating between chicken and vegetables.

  2. 7

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  3. 8

    Grill Skewers

    Place the assembled skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce or sides.
