Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 large bell peppers, assorted colors
• 1 large red onion
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes
• 12 pieces wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, black pepper, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, and chopped parsley to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 4

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Step 5

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Cut the bell peppers into 1-inch squares, slice the red onion into wedges, and keep the cherry tomatoes whole.

Step 6

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes alternately onto the soaked skewers.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Step 9

Remove from the grill and serve hot, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
