Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Skewers:

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 red bell pepper (cut into chunks)
  • 1 green bell pepper (cut into chunks)
  • 1 red onion (cut into chunks)
  • wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

  1. Prepare Skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment.
  2. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken, toss to coat, and marinate for at least 20 minutes.
  3. Assemble Skewers: Thread chicken, peppers, and onion onto skewers, alternating ingredients. Place on baking sheet.
  4. Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until chicken is cooked through. Optional: broil for 2–3 minutes for charred effect.
  5. Serve: Enjoy warm with rice, pita, or salad.

Notes

  • You can customize the skewers with different veggies like mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, or zucchini.
  • Try using chicken thighs for a more tender result.
