PINCHOS DE POLLO 🇩🇴 EASY CHICKEN SKEWERS

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is healthier.

chicken breast

🥗Healthier: chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: pork tenderloin

Chicken thighs are juicier and often cheaper than chicken breast.

paprika

🥗Healthier: smoked paprika

💰Cheaper: cayenne pepper

Cayenne adds heat and is usually less expensive.

fresh parsley

🥗Healthier: cilantro

💰Cheaper: dried parsley

Dried parsley is more cost-effective but less vibrant.

In a food processor, combine the green bell pepper, onion, garlic, oregano, pepper, lime juice, salt, and parsley. Grind to a coarse paste.

Coat the chicken with the seasoning. Let it rest in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Preheat the grill to maximum temperature. While it is heating up, skewer a yellow bell pepper, chicken, and tomatoes alternating. Repeat to make 12 skewers.

Place the skewers on the grill and cook covered for 7 minutes, turn and repeat for another 7 minutes, or until the meat thermometer reads 165ºF (74 ºC) by measuring in the center of a piece of meat. The meat will have some browned spots.

Remove from the grill, drizzle or brush with olive oil (optional), and serve immediately.
