Ingredients
- 1 lb 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
- 8 oz mushrooms quartered
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a large resealable bag or shallow baking dish, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, honey, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
- Add the cubed chicken to the marinade, making sure all the pieces are evenly coated. Cover or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours, flipping or massaging the bag occasionally.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
- Thread the marinated chicken and prepared vegetables onto the soaked skewers, alternating the ingredients.
- Carefully place the kebabs on the preheated grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Serve the grilled chicken kebabs hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley or cilantro. Enjoy with your choice of sides, such as rice, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad.
