I found this one on line while I was putzing around. It sounded good and it seemed quick and easy so I gave it a shot. The flavor was marvelous. It lived up to my expectations. Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts or 4 chicken thighs |
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch squares |
1/2 green bell pepper, cut into 1 inch squares |
2 yellow onions, cut into eighths |
1 cup cherry tomatoes |
bamboo skewer |
1/2 cup oil |
3 cloves garlic, chopped |
1 teaspoon paprika (www.worldspice.com has the real stuff) |
1/2 teaspoon fresh mexican oregano |
kosher salt |
black peppercorns |
Directions:
1. Soak the skewers for an hour.
2. Set charcoal alight.
3. In your handy mortar grind the Oil, Garlic, Paprika, Oregano, Salt, and Peppercorns.
4. Skin, debone, and de-fat the chicken.
5. Cut into 1/2 cubes.
6. Rinse, pat dry, stir into Marinade.
7. Coat well.
8. Thread the Onion, Chicken, Peppers, and Cherry Tomatoes alternately onto the skewers.
9. Grill over medium coals for 15-20 minutes'til everything is done.
10. This works well grilled over a hibachi or other small grill on a picnic.
11. Prepare everything at home and do the grilling at the picnic site.
12. It's almost as good cooked under the broiler at home.
