Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 pieces bell peppers (red, yellow, and green)
• 1 piece red onion
• 8 pieces wooden skewers, soaked in water (or metal skewers)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor).

Step 4

Meanwhile, chop the bell peppers and red onion into 1-inch pieces to match the chicken cubes.

Step 5

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10-15 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 6

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken cubes, bell peppers, and red onion pieces onto the skewers in an alternating pattern.

Step 8

Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the chicken skewers with your favorite dipping sauce or side dish, such as rice or a crisp side salad.
