Saudi Chicken and Vegetable Skewers (Shish Taouk)

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Chicken breast
• 2 various colors Bell peppers
• 1 medium Red onion
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1/4 cup Yogurt
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1/2 tsp Turmeric
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

1. 1Cut the 1.5 lbs of chicken breast into 1-inch cubes. Cut the 2 bell peppers and 1 medium red onion into 1-inch pieces, similar in size to the chicken cubes.
2. 2In a medium bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp of olive oil, 2 tbsp of lemon juice, 3 cloves of minced garlic, 1/4 cup of yogurt, 1 tsp of cumin, 1 tsp of paprika, 1/2 tsp of turmeric, 1 tsp of salt, and 0.5 tsp of black pepper until well combined.
3. 3Add the 1.5 lbs of chicken cubes to the marinade in the bowl and toss gently to ensure all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours, to allow the chicken to marinate.
4. 4Thread the marinated chicken pieces and the cut bell pepper and red onion pieces onto skewers, alternating between chicken and vegetables.
5. 5Preheat your grill to medium heat. This is approximately 375°F to 400°F (190°C to 200°C).
6. 6Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning the skewers occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
