Ingredients

  • 16 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breast chopped into squares (3 medium breasts)
  • 3 large bell peppers chopped into squares (any color)
  • 1 medium purple onion chopped into squares
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 lime cut into wedges
  • fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill or oven to 400ºF.
  • Prepare the peppers and onions by slicing them into 1-inch squares. Transfer them into a gallon-sized bag and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Shake to coat everything in oil.
  • Prepare chicken breast by slicing it into 1-inch by 1-inch chunks (make sure they're all around the same size) and then transfer them into another gallon-sized bag.
  • In a small bowl, combine the fajita spices to create your rub.

  • Add half of the spice mixture to the vegetables and the other half to the chicken. Shake well and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Now, make your kababs. Alternate between peppers, onions, and chicken until you've filled all your skewers.

  • Lay a piece of tin foil onto the grill and spray it with cooking spray.
  • Grill the chicken kababs over direct heat for around 15 minutes, rotating every 4-5 minutes. Cook until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165ºF.
  • Remove from heat and squeeze on lime juice (THIS PART IS KEY) and sprinkle on fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
