Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless chicken thighs
- 1 cup bell peppers (mixed colors), chopped
- 1 medium red onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
Instructions
1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and soy sauce to create the marinade.
2. Cut chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and toss them in the marinade. Let marinate for at least 1 hour.
3. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, alternating with bell peppers and red onion.
4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).
5. Grill the skewers for 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
6. Remove from grill and serve immediately, optionally drizzling with extra marinade.
Notes
For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
Customize with vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes.
Do not reuse marinade unless it has been boiled for safety.
