Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless chicken breast
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Yellow bell pepper
• 1 large Red onion
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, start by soaking them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.

Step 2

Cut the boneless chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 3

Chop the red and yellow bell peppers into 1-inch pieces. Peel and cut the red onion into similar-sized pieces.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, ground cumin, ground paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create the marinade.

Step 5

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and mix until well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.

Step 6

Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F or 200°C).

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken pieces, alternating with pieces of red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion onto the skewers.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the grill or a baking sheet if using an oven. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked with a nice char on the edges.

Step 9

Remove the skewers from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes.

Step 10

Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro.
