Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp honey
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 2 bell peppers (any color)
• 1 red onion
• 10 wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into evenly sized cubes, roughly 1.5 inches each, and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated evenly. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for enhanced flavor.

Step 4

Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Step 5

While the chicken marinates, prepare the vegetables by cutting the bell peppers and red onion into bite-sized chunks, similar in size to the chicken pieces.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). If using a charcoal grill, allow the coals to develop a light, even layer of ash before cooking.

Step 7

Assemble the skewers by alternating pieces of marinated chicken, bell peppers, and red onion until each skewer is filled, leaving a small handle at the base for easy handling.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes to ensure even cooking. The chicken should be fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the skewers warm with your favorite sides, such as rice, salad, or grilled vegetables.
