  • 4 cloves garlic, minced (Use fresh for best flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 2 pounds chicken breast, cut into cubes (Plump and moist chicken for juiciness)

  • Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  • Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, and onion onto the skewers.

Cooking

  • Grill the kabobs for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Notes

Consider serving with rice or a fresh salad, and offer dipping sauces for added flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.
