Argentinian Chimichurri Chicken Skewers

Ingredients

• •1 lb chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
• •2 tbsp olive oil
• •1 tsp salt
• •1/2 tsp black pepper
• •1/2 tsp paprika
• •1/4 tsp garlic powder
• •1/4 tsp onion powder
• •1/2 cup chimichurri sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• •1 cup bell peppers (mixed colors), sliced
• •1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• •1 tbsp red wine vinegar
• •1 tbsp honey
• •Salt and pepper to taste (for the salad)
• •Skewers (wooden or metal)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces, olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.

2. 2

   Add the chimichurri sauce to the bowl and stir until the chicken is well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

3. 3

   While the chicken is marinating, prepare the bell pepper salad. In a separate bowl, combine the sliced bell peppers, red onion, red wine vinegar, and honey. Toss to combine, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. 4

   If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15-20 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

5. 5

   Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.

6. 6

   Grill the chicken skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

7. 7

   Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

8. 8

   Serve the chimichurri chicken skewers with the sweet and tangy bell pepper salad on the side. Enjoy!
