Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Wooden skewers (8-10, soaked in water for 30 minutes)
- Cherry tomatoes (1 cup)
- Red onion (1 medium, cut into wedges)
- Bell peppers (2 medium, assorted colors (red, yellow, green), cut into chunks)
- Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
- Salt (1 teaspoon)
- Ground coriander (1 teaspoon)
- Ground cumin (1 teaspoon)
- Paprika (1 teaspoon)
- Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
- Lemon juice (2 tablespoons)
- Olive oil (3 tablespoons)
- Chicken breast (1.5 pounds, cut into 1-inch cubes)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
- Add the chicken breast cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for the best flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- While the grill heats, prepare the skewers. Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes onto the wooden skewers, alternating between the ingredients for a colorful presentation.
- Once the grill is ready, place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F) and the vegetables are tender.
- Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy hot, paired with your favorite dipping sauce or served alongside a fresh salad or fragrant rice.
