Ingredients

  • 3 medium multicolored bell peppers chopped into medium-sized chunks
  • cup olive oil
  • cup soy sauce
  • ½ medium lemon freshly juiced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 3 garlic cloves finely minced
  • 2 lbs boneless chicken thighs diced into medium pieces
  • Skewers

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken thigh pieces with olive oil, soy sauce, oregano, garlic, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Add the bell peppers and toss everything together until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl tightly and place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours—the longer the marination, the more robust the flavor.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Carefully thread the marinated chicken and bell pepper pieces onto the skewers, alternating between meat and vegetables for balanced bites.
  • Lightly grease the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for approximately 6–8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked, tender, and slightly charred at the edges. Serve hot, directly from the grill.

Notes

How to Cook Chicken Kebabs in the Oven
  • Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
  • Arrange the prepared skewers on a baking sheet or oven-safe rack, placing them on the center oven rack.
  • Bake for 10–15 minutes, then carefully flip the skewers over.
  • Continue baking for an additional 10–15 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken pieces.
  • Check a few chicken chunks in the center of the skewers to ensure they are fully cooked and no longer pink inside.
  • Serve hot straight from the oven.
