Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 2 lbs chicken breast, cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • to taste salt and pepper
For the Kabobs
  • 1 red onion, cut into chunks
  • 1 bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • Skewers (wooden or metal)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to prepare the marinade.
  2. Add the cubed chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
  3. Chop the red onion and bell pepper into chunks while the chicken marinates.
Cooking
  1. Thread the marinated chicken, red onion, and bell pepper onto skewers, alternating between the ingredients.
  2. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using an oven, preheat to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Grill the kabobs for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through. If using the oven, bake for about 20 minutes, turning halfway through.
Serving
  1. Once cooked, remove from the grill/oven and let rest for a few minutes. Serve warm, optionally with dipping sauces or sides.

Notes

For substitutions, consider using halal-friendly beef or lamb. Marinate overnight for better flavor. Ensure the grill is hot enough to prevent sticking, and avoid overloading the skewers for even cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, and reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes.
