Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large green bell pepper
• 1 large red onion
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 whole garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 12 pieces wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 2

Cut each chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.

Step 3

Core the red and green bell peppers and cut them into 1-inch pieces.

Step 4

Peel and quarter the red onion, separating the layers.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic cloves, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 6

Place the chicken cubes in a large resealable plastic bag or bowl and pour the marinade over them. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Marinate for at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator.

Step 7

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F or 200°C).

Step 8

Thread the marinated chicken cubes, red and green bell pepper pieces, red onion layers, and cherry tomatoes alternately onto the soaked skewers.

Step 9

Once the grill is hot, place the skewers on the grill grates and cook for approximately 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are slightly charred.

Step 10

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 3 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve the grilled chicken brochettes hot with your choice of side dishes, such as a fresh salad or quinoa.
