Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 bell peppers, seeded and cut into chunks
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • Wooden or metal skewers
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the marinade:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the dill aioli:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients. Add the chicken cubes and toss to coat. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the grill or preheat the broiler.
  2. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
  3. Preheat the grill or broiler. Thread the marinated chicken, red onion wedges, bell pepper chunks, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers, alternating between ingredients.
  4. Season the skewers with salt and pepper.
  5. Grill the kebabs over medium heat or broil them for 5-7 minutes per side until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred.
  6. While the kebabs are cooking, prepare the dill aioli by combining the mayonnaise, fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir well to combine.
  7. Remove the kebabs from the grill or broiler and let them rest for a few minutes.
  8. Serve the chicken and veggie kebabs hot with a side of homemade dill aioli.

Notes

Feel free to add additional vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or eggplant to the kebabs for more variety and flavor. If you don’t have a grill or broiler, you can also cook the kebabs in a skillet or grill pan on the stovetop. Do make sure to soak the wooden skewers in water before grilling to prevent them from burning. Serve the kebabs with a side of couscous, rice, or salad for a complete meal and enjoy!
