Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 1 large Red onion
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, about 1-inch each, and set aside in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Wash and dice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion into similarly sized 1-inch pieces for even cooking.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 4

Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 5

Thread the chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, alternating with pieces of bell peppers and onion to create colorful kebabs.

Step 6

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (or preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C if roasting).

Step 7

If grilling, place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). If roasting, place the skewers on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Step 8

Remove the skewers from the heat and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm, optionally with a side of rice, pita bread, or a fresh salad.
