1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into cubes

3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried oregano

Instructions

1If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning.

3Toss the chicken cubes in the marinade and let sit for at least 15 minutes.
4Thread the chicken, peppers, and onion onto the skewers, alternating pieces.

6Serve hot, drizzled with any remaining marinade juices from the pan.
