Ingredients
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed.
Add the cubed chicken breasts to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes, red bell pepper pieces, green bell pepper pieces, yellow bell pepper pieces, and red onion pieces alternately onto metal or soaked wooden skewers.
Place the skewers in the hot skillet, cooking for about 7-8 minutes on one side until the chicken starts to brown.
Carefully flip the skewers and cook for an additional 7-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the skillet chicken kabobs from the heat and transfer to a serving platter.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
