Ingredients
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast (cut into 1.5″ cubes)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves (minced)
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 red onion (cut into chunks)
1 red bell pepper (cut into 1.5″ pieces)
1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
2 lemon slices (for finishing)
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Add chicken cubes to marinade; refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
Thread chicken, red onion, and red pepper pieces evenly onto 4 skewers.
Preheat grill to medium-high (375°F). Lightly brush grates with oil.
Grill skewers 5-7 minutes per side, rotating halfway through, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are charred.
Remove from heat, top with lemon slices, and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Marinate overnight for deeper flavor.
For no-grill option: Cook in a grill pan or under oven broiler.
Swap red peppers with zucchini or mushrooms if desired.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days.
