  • 0.5 tsp oregano dried

Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, combine chicken pieces, olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Thread the chicken, bell peppers, and red onion onto skewers alternately.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  • Place skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours before grilling. Serve with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
