Fajita Chicken Kebabs

Juicy, moist and savory chicken kebab seasoned fajita-style with lime, garlic, chili, and cumin. Absolutely delicious and a crowd pleaser.

I strongly recommend this recipe to you if you are thinking to jazz up your BBQ with friends and family. I love the taste and easy preparation of this simple recipe; these chicken skewers are done in a breeze.

It is important to keep the chicken skewers moist, tender and juicy. For the best results, remember to brush the chicken generously with oil or the remaining marinade while grilling.

Prep time: 45 minutes (includes marinating time)

Cook time: 10 minutes

Total time: 55 minutes

Serving: 10 kebabs

What you need:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Juice and zest of 2 small limes/lemon

1 tablespoon paprika

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 clove garlic, chopped

1 large red bell pepper

1 large green bell pepper

1 large yellow bell pepper

1 large red onion

Salsa or guacamole, optional for serving

Procedure:

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Place in a bowl

Whisk together the oil, lime juice and zest, chili powder, cumin, garlic, paprika, and salt. Pour over the chicken, and gently coat the chicken with the marinade. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or overnight

If using wooden skewers, soak the skewers in water for at least 20 minutes prior to use

Heat your grill to medium-high. Cut the bell peppers and onion into 3/4-inch chunks, then thread onto skewers with the marinated chicken pieces, alternating the chicken with the vegetables

Place the kebabs on the grill, cover, and let cook until the chicken is fully cooked for about 8 to 10 minutes

Serve warm, garnished with salsa or guacamole as desired

Bon appetit!
