Mediterranean Lemon Herb Chicken Skewers

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 large bell pepper (any color), cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tbsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 8-10 wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

1. 1

   If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create your marinade.

3. 3

   Add the cubed chicken, red onion, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes to the bowl. Toss everything gently to ensure an even coating.

4. 4

   Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables alternately onto the skewers, making sure not to pack them too tightly.

5. 5

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

6. 6

   Place the skewers on the hot grill. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp with nice grill marks.

7. 7

   Remove skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
