Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 chicken fillets (cut in 1-inch cubes)
2 red bell peppers
2 green bell peppers
1 red onion
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (divided)
juice of 1 lemon (divided)
6 clove of garlic, chopped (divided)
2 teaspoon paprika (divided)
2 teaspoon thyme (divided)
4 teaspoon oregano (divided)
4 teaspoon salt (divided)
2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (divided)

Steps:

  • Mix 1/2 of all ingredients for the marinade in small bowl. Place chicken in a ziplock bag and pour marinade over it. Marinade in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  • Mix the other HALF of the ingredients in the same bowl pour into a ziplock bag with the vegetables. Marinade for at least 30 minutes.
  • If you are using wood skewers, while the chicken and veggies are marinating, soak the skewers in water for about 15 minutes. You need to soak wooden skewers in water for about 20- 30 minutes to keep them from igniting right there on the grill. I have also noticed that it's much easier to slide out the meat and veggies on your plate if the skewers have been soaked before grilling.
  • Thread the chicken and peppers and onions on the skewers. I usually place about 5-6 chicken pieces and a combo of peppers and onion in between.
  • Heat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan over medium-high heat. Spray the grates lightly with oil and grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the center is no longer pink.
  • You can also bake this Mediterranean chicken skewers in the oven if you want to. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Place chicken skewers on roasting racks over two foil-lined baking sheets and bake for about 10-15 minutes, turn over once and bake for another 10 - 15 minutes on the other side, or until they are baked through.

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon sumac
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 red bell pepper, cut into bite sized pieces
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into bite sized pieces
3-4 large shallots, peeled

Steps:

  • Cut chicken breast into 1 inch pieces and set aside. In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, dijon, garlic, oregano, sumac, kosher salt, and pepper. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 12 hours.
  • Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean up. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Thread alternating pieces of chicken, peppers, and shallots onto metal skewers. Bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked through, meaning no pink in the center and registering 165 degrees F on a meat thermometer.
  • If you'd like more of a grill-like char on the outside, set your oven broiler to high. Broil kabobs about 6 inches away from the heat source for 1-2 minutes until lightly charred on edges. Serve warm!

Time 55m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs dark chicken meat (well trimmed cut into squares)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
salt and pepper
2 teaspoons cumin
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
1 bell pepper (chopped)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients besides the chicken in a mixing bowl. Whisk together.
  • After the chicken is trimmed place the chicken in the bowl of mixed ingredients.
  • Mix the marinade over the chicken until well coated.
  • Leave chicken in the mixing bowl. Cover with saran wrap and let marinade for about 1-2 hours. ~Meanwhile soak your skewers in cold water for 30 minutes.
  • Pre heat your oven to 425.
  • Place foil on a baking sheet.
  • Start skewing your chicken pieces and bell pepper pieces, in whichever order you like and place on the baking sheet.
  • Leave in the oven for about 35-40 minutes on a middle shelf. If you like you can pour more of the marinade over the skewers about 5 minutes before they are fully cooked.
  • NOTE: It is best to cut the chicken with kitchen shears I find it so much easier than using a knife (which is what I tried using the first time I made these. Took forever. Trust me shears are the WAY TO GO).
  • *please remember all my recipes are made using a gas stove top and oven. So cooking times may vary.
