Chicken Fajita Skewers

I love to grill!  My dream is to one day have an outdoor kitchen.  These fajita skewers were an easy and different way to cook and serve one of my favorite meals.  The vegetables all came from my garden and the charred edges were so yummy! The marinade recipe was adapted from :here

Chicken Fajita Skewers
2 lbs. chicken breasts, cubed
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper. diced
1 large onion, diced
1 lb. grape or yellow pear tomatoes
Wooden skewer sticks, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Marinade:
1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/3 cup EVOO
2 Tbsp. minced garlic
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp cumin
1/3 tsp. red pepper flakes
  • Combine ingredients.  Place chicken in a bowl or container.  Pour the marinade over the chicken and stir to coat chicken cubes.  Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes up to 2 hours.
  • Thread the chicken, peppers, onions, and tomatoes onto the skewers.  Grill over medium to high heat until chicken is thoroughly cooked.  Serve with warm flour tortillas and salsa.  Black beans and avocados are some of our favorites too!
