Ingredients

8 (6-inch) bamboo skewers
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped (1 teaspoon)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon paprika

1 red or yellow bell pepper, cut into 24 (1-inch) pieces

Steps

1

Soak the skewers in water for 30 minutes. In shallow glass or plastic dish or resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix onion, garlic, parsley, paprika, pepper flakes, cumin, salt, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and lemon juice. Add chicken; turning to coat with marinade. Cover dish or seal bag; refrigerate, turning chicken occasionally, at least 1 hour to marinate.

Place kabobs on grill over medium heat. Cook 9 to 11 minutes, turning occasionally; brushing with remaining 2 tablespoons oil, until chicken is no longer pink in center.
