Main Ingredients

Blackening Spice Mix

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Begin by cutting the boneless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. Then, chop the bell peppers and red onion into chunks that are roughly the same size as the chicken cubes.

  2. 2

    Make the Blackening Spice Mix

    In a small bowl, combine the paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a uniform spice blend.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken cubes, olive oil, and the blackening spice mix. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Skewers

    Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, skip this step.

  3. 5

    Assemble the Skewers

    Once marinated, thread the chicken cubes, bell pepper chunks, and red onion pieces onto the skewers, alternating between each component.

  4. 6

    Cook the Skewers

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.

  5. 7

    Serve

    Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your blackened chicken skewers!
