How to Make Bbq Chicken On A Stick

  1. In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1-2 jalapeños, finely minced (adjust to your spice preference).
  2. Season 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes, with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Add the chicken to the onion mixture, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
  4. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
  5. Preheat your BBQ grill to medium heat (approximately 350°F).
  6. Thread the chicken onto 4 skewers, alternating with 1 cup cherry tomatoes, 1 bell pepper (any color) cut into 1-inch pieces, 1/2 cup pearl onions, and 1 cup sliced mushrooms.
  7. Grill the skewers for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F.
  8. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
