Ingredients
•
1/4 cup olive oil
•
1/4 cup lemon juice
•
1/4 cup white vinegar
•
2 cloves garlic, minced
•
1 teaspoon ground cumin
•
1 teaspoon dried oregano
•
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
•
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
•
6 wooden skewers
•
2 large green or red bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
•
1 large onion, quartered and separated into pieces
•
12 fresh mushrooms
•
12 cherry tomatoes
Directions
1
Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, cumin, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add chicken and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap; marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
2
Meanwhile, soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
3
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
4
Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade. Thread chicken onto the skewers, alternating with bell peppers, onion, mushrooms, and tomatoes.
5
Cook skewers on preheated grill, turning frequently, until nicely browned on all sides, and meat is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
