Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 1 large red bell pepper (sliced into chunks)
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper (sliced into chunks)
  • 1 large green bell pepper (sliced into chunks)
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill (chopped)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Marinade:
    • In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and oregano. Stir in the fresh dill.
  2. Marinate the Chicken:
    • Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, toss well to coat, and let it sit for at least 30 minutes (or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
  3. Assemble the Skewers:
    • Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, alternating with bell pepper slices.
  4. Grill or Cook:
    • Grill Method: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Cook the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly charred.
    • Stovetop Method: Heat a grill pan over medium heat and cook the skewers for about 12-15 minutes, turning to brown evenly.
    • Oven Method: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Garnish with extra fresh dill and a squeeze of lemon. Serve with rice, pita bread, or a yogurt dipping sauce.
