Ingredients
Marinade
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter Melted
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Chicken and Vegetables
- 500 grams chicken thighs (boneless and skinless) Cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 red onion (cut into chunks)
- 1 bell pepper (cut into chunks)
Instructions
Preparation
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl until liquefied.
- Whisk in minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the chicken pieces in a bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss until well coated.
- Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.
Grilling
- Assemble the skewers by threading marinated chicken pieces, alternating with chunks of red onion and bell pepper.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Grill the skewers for about 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
- Let the skewers rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
