  • Total Time: 32
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

Combine chicken, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl; mix well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight.
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread marinated chicken and vegetables onto skewers, alternating ingredients.
Grill kebabs for about 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is fully cooked and vegetables are charred and tender.
Let rest for 2–3 minutes before serving. Serve with a side of Mediterranean salad, grains, or pita bread.

Notes

Marinating longer than 4 hours adds more flavor to chicken.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
For indoor cooking, use a nonstick grill pan and preheat to medium-high heat.
