Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 60 milliliters Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 250 grams Cherry tomatoes
• 1 piece Red bell pepper, cut into chunks
• 1 piece Red onion, cut into chunks
• 8 pieces Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Soak the wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Remove the soaked skewers from the water. Thread the marinated chicken cubes, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper chunks, and red onion chunks alternately onto the skewers.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the grilled chicken skewers warm with a side of your favorite Mediterranean salad or dip.
