Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 0.25 cup lemon juice
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 red onion, cut into chunks
• 2 bell peppers (any color), cut into chunks
• 1 pint grape tomatoes
• 12 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the chicken, mix well to coat evenly, and cover the bowl. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, but ideally 2 hours for best results.

Step 4

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 5

Thread the chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, alternating with chunks of red onion, bell pepper, and grape tomatoes.

Step 6

Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 10 minutes, then turn and continue cooking for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Step 8

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the skewers hot with a side of fresh salad or warm pita bread.
