Start by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt to make the marinade.
Add chicken cubes to the marinade, mix well to ensure even coating, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Cut the red and green bell peppers into 1-inch pieces and the red onion into similar-sized chunks.
Once the chicken is marinated, thread the chicken, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion pieces alternately onto the soaked skewers.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the prepared skewers on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the kebabs immediately alongside your choice of sides or as a filling inside pitas with a dollop of yogurt for a refreshing touch.
