**Fire-Roasted Chicken Kabobs**
**Ingredients:**
– 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
– 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
– 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
– 1 red onion, cut into chunks
– 8-10 cherry tomatoes
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons lemon juice
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
**Instructions:**
1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, honey, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
2. Place the chicken cubes in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over the chicken. Ensure that all the chicken pieces are coated with the marinade. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 375-400°F (190-200°C).
4. Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, onion chunks, and cherry tomatoes onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating between the ingredients.
5. Brush the skewers with the remaining marinade.
6. Place the chicken kabobs on the preheated grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred.
7. Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
8. Serve the Fire-Roasted Chicken Kabobs hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Incorporating a variety of colorful veggies along with the well-marinated chicken guarantees a burst of flavors with every bite.
