Ingredients
For the Marinade:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (or 1 tablespoon fresh)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
For the Skewers:
- 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 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.Prepare the Marinade:
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, pepper, and parsley.
2. Marinate the Chicken:
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
3.Soak the Skewers (if using wooden):
While the chicken marinates, soak wooden skewers in water for 20–30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
4.Assemble the Skewers:
Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of bell peppers and onion.
5.Preheat the Grill:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
6.Grill the Skewers:
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a light char. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F.
7.Serve:
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2–3 minutes. Serve hot with a side of rice, salad, or pita bread and tzatziki sauce.
Tips:
- For a smoky flavor, add a sprinkle of smoked paprika to the marinade.
- You can customize the vegetables based on what you have on hand, such as zucchini or cherry tomatoes.
- To make the recipe gluten-free, ensure that all your ingredients (e.g., spices) are certified gluten-free.
