Delicious Chicken Kabobs Recipe - Easy Mediterranean Dish

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 pound chicken breast (cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for marinating)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (adds color and flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 cup bell peppers (cut into chunks, mixed colors)
  • 1 cup onion (cut into chunks)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

    Let the marinade sit for a few minutes to enhance the flavors.
  2. Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

    For best results, marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
  3. Prepare the Skewers

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

    Metal skewers can also be used and do not require soaking.
  4. Assemble the Kabobs

    Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, and onion onto the skewers alternately.

    Leave a little space between each piece for even cooking.
  5. Grill the Kabobs

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and cook the kabobs for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally.

    Ensure the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
