Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

3 tablespoons olive oil

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Zest of 1 lemon

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 medium red onion, cut into wedges

Skewers (wooden or metal)

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.

    Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).

      Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.

        Thread the marinated chicken, red and green bell peppers, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating the ingredients for a colorful presentation.

          Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

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