Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 2 Bell peppers, assorted colors, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 Red onion, cut into wedges
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, black pepper, turmeric, and oregano. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours for best results.

Step 4

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning, if using.

Step 5

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, alternating with cherry tomatoes, bell pepper pieces, and red onion wedges.

Step 7

Grill the kebabs for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the kebabs from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.

Step 9

Serve the kebabs sprinkled with fresh parsley for garnish.
