4 servings
2 hours 30 minutes total (Active 30 minutes)

Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped and divided
  • 3 limes, for juice/cut into wedges
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 lb)
  • Large zip-top bag
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 12-inch wooden skewers

Steps

    1. Chop cilantro. Cut limes into wedges; squeeze 4 wedges for juice (2 tablespoons) and reserve remaining wedges. Cut chicken into 1-inch chunks and place in zip-top bag (wash hands). Add to zip-top bag: 4 tablespoons cilantro, lime juice, oil, garlic, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper. Seal bag and knead to coat. Marinate 2 hours (or overnight).
    2. Preheat grill on medium. Cut bell pepper and onion into 1-inch chunks. Thread chicken, bell peppers, and onions onto skewers, alternating items.
    3. Grill kebabs 10–12 minutes, turning often, or until grill-marked and chicken is 165°F. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon cilantro and serve with reserved lime wedges.
