Instructions:
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 20 minutes to prevent burning.
- In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to make a marinade.
- Place the chicken cubes in a resealable plastic bag or a bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss to coat the chicken evenly. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating the ingredients.
- Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred.
- Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the Grilled Chicken Kebabs as is or with a side of rice, salad, or grilled vegetables.
Tips:
- You can customize the marinade by adding your favorite herbs and spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or dried thyme.
- If you're using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them long enough to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like cherry tomatoes or zucchini to the skewers for additional flavor and color.
