Oven Skewers

The chicken breast is cut into small pieces, about 2-3 cm, to cook evenly and quickly. This size choice ensures a juicy and tender texture. The mushrooms are thoroughly washed under cold running water, then cleaned with a damp cloth to remove impurities. The stems of the mushrooms are trimmed, and the mushrooms can be left whole or cut in half, depending on preference. The vibrant red bell pepper, full of flavor, is cut into pieces similar in size to the mushrooms, so that all ingredients cook evenly on the grill.

On skewers, pieces of chicken breast are alternated with mushrooms and red bell pepper. This combination of ingredients not only provides a colorful and attractive appearance but also a delicious taste. It is important not to overcrowd the skewers, leaving a little space between ingredients to allow air circulation and ensure even cooking.

Once the skewers are prepared, they can be seasoned with salt, pepper, and other herbs such as oregano or thyme to enhance the flavors. A marinade of olive oil, the juice of a lemon, and crushed garlic would add a note of freshness and a special taste. Let the skewers marinate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat well.

Meanwhile, prepare the grill or grill pan. Make sure the surface is well heated before adding the skewers. Place them on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning them occasionally to achieve even browning. You will notice how the meat turns golden and the mushrooms soften, releasing their juices.

When the skewers are ready, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This step will help the juices redistribute in the meat, ensuring that each bite is full of flavor. You can serve them alongside a fresh salad, rice, or toasted bread to complete this delicious meal. Chicken skewers with mushrooms and red bell pepper are not only a healthy choice but also an explosion of colors and flavors, perfect for a family dinner or a gathering with friends!
