Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large red onion
• 2 large bell peppers (any color)
• 8 (soaked in water for 30 minutes) wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh parsley, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces and toss to ensure all the chicken is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 5

While the chicken is marinating, peel and cut the red onion into wedges. Also, core and cut the bell peppers into 1-inch pieces.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken cubes, onion wedges, and bell pepper pieces onto the soaked skewers, alternating as desired.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the grilled chicken skewers warm, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
