Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 pieces red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 pieces green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 piece red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 4

Add the chicken cubes to the bowl with the marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 5

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables by cutting the red bell peppers, green bell peppers, and red onion into 1-inch pieces.

Step 6

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Assemble the brochettes by threading the marinated chicken cubes and the prepared vegetables alternately onto the skewers.

Step 8

Grill the brochettes for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C).

Step 9

Remove the brochettes from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the marinated chicken brochettes hot with your choice of dipping sauce, rice, or a fresh salad.
