Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast, cubed (Juicy and tender cut for grilling.)
- 1 bell pepper, cubed (Any color of bell pepper can be used.)
- 1 onion, cubed (Use a sweet onion for best flavor.)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (Adds moisture and flavor.)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (For additional flavor and brightness.)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika (For a subtle smokiness.)
- to taste Salt and pepper (Adjust according to preference.)
- Skewers (if using wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes) (Prevents skewers from burning on the grill.)
Instructions
- Cube the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Cut the bell pepper and onion into similar-sized cubes for even cooking.
- Combine the chicken pieces with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir well and let it marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
- Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, and onions onto the skewers, alternating between the ingredients.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
- Once cooked, remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
- Serve warm with rice or a fresh salad.
Notes
- For best results, let the chicken marinate for longer if time permits.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms.
