Chicken Marinade

Vegetables for Skewers

Cilantro Rice

Garlic Parmesan Sauce

Method

Chicken Marinade

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Cut the boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Mix to ensure all the chicken pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

Prepare the Skewers

  1. 3

    Assemble the Skewers

    Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. After marinating, thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, and onion onto the skewers, alternating between ingredients.

Cilantro Rice

  1. 4

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the rice, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

  2. 5

    Add Flavor

    Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the chopped cilantro and lime juice. Set aside.

Garlic Parmesan Sauce

  1. 6

    Make the Sauce

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.

Grill the Skewers

  1. 7

    Cook the Skewers

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the skewers over a bed of cilantro rice, drizzled with garlic Parmesan sauce.
