    2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1.5-inch cubes

    1/4 cup olive oil

    Juice of 1 lemon

    3 cloves garlic, minced

    2 teaspoons dried oregano

    1 teaspoon dried thyme

    1 teaspoon ground cumin

    1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

    Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

    1 red onion, cut into chunks

    1 green bell pepper, cut into chunks

    1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks

    Wooden or metal skewers (if wooden, soak in water 30 minutes before use)

    Directions:

    In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
