Ingredients

• 500 grams chicken breast
• 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 large bell peppers
• 1 medium red onion
• 8 pieces metal or wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and salt. Whisk the marinade until well blended.

Step 3

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.

Step 4

While the chicken marinates, soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning, if using wooden skewers.

Step 5

Cut the bell pepper and red onion into 1-inch pieces.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating each ingredient.

Step 8

Place the kebabs on the grill and 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 transfer to a serving platter.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
