Instructions
1
In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken breast, lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, and black pepper. Mix well to coat all the chicken pieces evenly.
2
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3
Meanwhile, prepare your vegetables. Cut the bell peppers into 1-inch cubes and the onion into 8 wedges.
4
Once marinated, thread the chicken pieces onto four 6-inch or 8-inch skewers, ensuring there is space between each piece for even cooking.
5
On separate eight-inch skewers, thread the bell peppers and onion wedges. Take care not to overcrowd the skewers.
6
Preheat your grill or broiler over medium-high heat. Place the vegetable skewers on the grill and cook for 4 minutes, turning halfway through.
7
After 4 minutes, add the chicken kebabs to the heat. Cook the chicken for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Do not turn the vegetable skewers when you turn the chicken to allow them to get a nice char.
8
Once cooked, remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
