Kebab Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and add to the marinade. Toss to coat and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably in the refrigerator.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken marinates, chop the bell peppers and red onion into similar-sized pieces to match the chicken cubes.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Skewers

    Thread the marinated chicken and the chopped vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between chicken and veggies.

  5. 5

    Grill the Kebabs

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the kebabs for about 10-12 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. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or over rice.
