Chicken Skewers
Tender, juicy chicken threaded onto skewers with your choice of vegetables and marinade—a versatile grilled favorite that adapts to any cuisine or flavor profile. Perfect for meal prep, entertaining, or a quick weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Method
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent charring.
Cut chicken breast into 1.5-inch cubes and vegetables (peppers, onion, tomatoes/zucchini) into roughly 1-inch pieces.
Whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika (or your chosen spice) in a shallow dish or zip-top bag.
Add chicken cubes to marinade, toss to coat evenly, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 8 hours for deeper flavor). Season vegetables lightly with salt and pepper separately if desired.
Thread chicken and vegetables alternately onto skewers, starting and ending with chicken. Leave a small gap between pieces for even cooking.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (400–450°F). Lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.
Place skewers on the hot grill and cook for 10–12 minutes, turning every 3 minutes to achieve even browning and ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Transfer skewers to a serving platter. Let rest for 2–3 minutes, then serve hot with your choice of sauce or dip (tzatziki, honey-mustard, or sriracha mayo work well).
