Equipment
Ingredients
Chicken Kebabs
- 3 chicken breasts cut in 1-inch cubes
- 2 red bell peppers
- 2 green bell peppers
- 1 red onion
Chicken Kebab marinade
- ⅔ cup extra virgin olive oil divided
- juice of 1 lemon divided
- 6 clove of garlic, chopped divided
- 2 teaspoon paprika divided
- 2 teaspoon thyme divided
- 4 teaspoon oregano divided
- 4 teaspoon salt divided
- 2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper divided
Instructions
Marinade
- Marinate chicken. Mix 1/2 of all ingredients for the marinade in small bowl. Place chicken in a ziplock bag and pour marinade over it. Marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Marinate vegetables. Mix the other HALF of the ingredients in the same bowl pour into a ziplock bag with the vegetables. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Soak wooden skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20–30 minutes while the chicken and vegetables marinate. This helps prevent them from burning on the grill and makes it easier to slide the chicken and veggies off after cooking.
Chicken Kebabs
- Assemble skewers. Thread the chicken and peppers and onions on the skewers. I usually place about 5-6 chicken pieces and a combo of peppers and onion in between.
- Grill chicken skewers. Heat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan over medium-high heat. Spray the grates lightly with oil and grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the center is no longer pink.
- Oven method. You can also bake this Mediterranean chicken skewers in the oven if you want to. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Place chicken skewers on roasting racks over two foil-lined baking sheets and bake for about 10-15 minutes, turn over once and bake for another 10 - 15 minutes on the other side, or until they are baked through.
