Ingredients
– 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– ¼ cup olive oil
– 3 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons lemon juice
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 3 cloves garlic, minced

– 1 teaspoon cumin

– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 bell pepper (any color), cut into chunks

Instructions
Creating grilled chicken skewers is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
2. Cut Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in size.
3. Make Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
4. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken pieces in a resealable plastic bag or a bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure all pieces are coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
5. Prepare Vegetables: While the chicken marinates, cut the bell pepper and red onion into chunks that are similar in size to the chicken pieces.
6. Assemble Skewers: Once the chicken is marinated, thread the chicken and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between chicken and veggies.
7. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
8. Grill Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
9. Check Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
10. Rest Skewers: Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
