Ingredients

• 4 pieces (boneless, skinless) Chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
• 4 minced Garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
• 2 large (cut into 1-inch pieces) Bell peppers
• 1 large (cut into wedges) Red onion
• 1 pint Cherry tomatoes
• 8 Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, and low sodium soy sauce.

Step 3

Add minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to the liquid mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes, ensuring all the pieces are coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse.

Step 5

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) if using oven.

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken cubes alternately with pieces of bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 12 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred.

Step 9

If using an oven, place skewers on a baking sheet lined with foil and bake for about 15 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked.

Step 10

Remove the skewers from the grill or oven, and let rest for a few minutes.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
