Ingredients

For the Chicken Kabobs:

  • 2 large chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (fresh)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp chili powder (optional)
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp salt (sea salt, himalayan or kosher)
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 red bell pepper (cut into chunks)
  • 1 yellow bell pepper (cut into chunks)
  • 1 red onion (cut into chunks)
  • Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken (Optional for Best Flavor)

  • In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  • Add chicken cubes and toss to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the fridge).

2. Prepare the Skewers

  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  • Thread chicken, bell peppers, and onion onto the skewers, alternating pieces.

3. Cook the Kabobs

Grill Method:

  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F).
  • Grill kabobs for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F.

Oven Method:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Place kabobs on a baking sheet lined with foil.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Stovetop Method:

  • Heat a large grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Cook kabobs for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally until fully cooked.

4. Serve & Enjoy!

  • Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro.
  • Serve with rice, pita bread, or a fresh salad!
