Grilled Chicken Skewers with Veggies** are smoky, juicy, and bursting with bold flavor. Marinated in garlic, herbs, and spices, then grilled to perfection alongside colorful bell peppers and onions — these skewers are a must-have for summer cookouts and grill nights. Healthy, high in protein, and totally crowd-pleasing!
Ingredients (makes 6 skewers):
- 500g (1 lb) chicken breast or thighs, cut into chunks
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into squares
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into squares
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers (if wooden, soak in water for 30 mins)
Instructions:
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Add chicken pieces and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for max flavor).
- Thread chicken, bell peppers, and onion alternately onto skewers.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
- Grill skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is fully cooked and has nice char marks.
- Serve hot with lemon wedges, fresh herbs, or a side of tzatziki, rice, or grilled flatbread.
📸 Styling Tip:
Serve skewers over a rustic wooden board with charred lemon slices, fresh parsley, and a dipping bowl on the side. Get close-ups of the grill marks and the glossy, caramelized edges. Golden hour light = chef’s kiss 🌞✨
