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

Instructions:
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and oregano. Stir in the fresh dill.
- 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).
- Assemble the Skewers:
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, alternating with bell pepper slices.
- 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.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Garnish with extra fresh dill and a squeeze of lemon. Serve with rice, pita bread, or a yogurt dipping sauce.
