Ingredients
Marinade Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into cubes Use evenly sized pieces for uniform cooking.

- 1 teaspoon paprika Add to taste or experiment with spices.

Equipment
- Wooden or metal skewers Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Add chicken cubes to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
- Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto the skewers.
Cooking
- Grill the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Serving
- Serve hot off the grill with simple sides like a light salad or rice.
Notes
Cool the skewers to room temperature before storing. Place in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or on the grill to keep them moist. For deeper flavor, marinate 2–4 hours in the fridge.
