Ingredients

Chicken Marinade

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fajita seasoning

Vegetables

  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into large chunks

Finishing Sauce

  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice

Instructions

  1. Marinate Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the cubed chicken breasts with olive oil and fajita seasoning. Mix well to ensure the chicken is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
  2. Prepare Vegetables: Chop the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into large chunks suitable for skewering. Similarly, cut the red onion into large, evenly sized pieces.
  3. Assemble Kabobs: Thread the marinated chicken pieces alternately with the bell pepper chunks and red onion pieces onto skewers, distributing ingredients evenly for balanced cooking.
  4. Preheat Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C), ensuring it is clean and oiled to prevent sticking.
  5. Grill Kabobs: Place the assembled kabobs on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally to cook all sides evenly. Grill until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  6. Add Sauce and Serve: Just before serving, drizzle the kabobs with a mixture of low-sodium soy sauce and freshly squeezed lime juice to enhance the flavor. Serve hot alongside your favorite sides.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken breasts with chicken thighs for a juicier result.
  • Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
  • Fajita seasoning can be store-bought or homemade with chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano.
  • Serve with warm tortillas and guacamole for a complete fajita experience.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked safely without overcooking.
