red bell pepper

🥗Healthier: yellow bell pepper

💰Cheaper: green bell pepper

Cut chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.

In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.

Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and mix well until coated.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.

Soak skewers in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning.

Thread marinated chicken onto skewers, alternating with pieces of red bell pepper and onion.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and has grill marks.

Remove skewers from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
