Chicken skewers with vegetables – A simple and delicious recipe for summer evenings

If you are looking for a quick and tasty recipe, chicken skewers with vegetables are the perfect choice! These skewers are ideal for a family dinner or to impress friends at a party. In this guide, I will show you step by step how to prepare the most delicious chicken skewers using fresh and flavorful ingredients.

Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Necessary ingredients:
- 1 chicken breast (approximately 500 g)
- 1 red bell pepper
- 4-5 mushrooms (preferably champignon)
- 100 g bacon (for a more intense flavor)
- 1 medium onion
- Grill spices (you can use salt, pepper, sweet paprika, granulated garlic)
- Skewers (wooden is ideal, but metal can be used as well)

Step 1: Preparing the ingredients
To achieve the tastiest skewers, it is essential to use fresh ingredients. Cut the chicken breast into cubes of about 2-3 cm to ensure even cooking. The red bell pepper can be cut into large pieces, and the mushrooms into halves. The bacon is sliced thinly, and the onion into quarters or slices, depending on your preference.

Step 2: Soaking the skewers
To prevent the skewers from burning on the grill, it is recommended to soak them in water for 5 minutes. This simple step will help keep the skewers intact during cooking.

Step 3: Assembling the skewers
On each stick, alternate the chicken cubes with slices of bacon, pieces of bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms. I advise you to use your imagination and create various combinations so that each skewer looks appetizing.

Step 4: Seasoning
A crucial step is seasoning. Sprinkle the grill spices over the skewers, making sure each ingredient is well coated. This will add a wonderful flavor and turn the skewers into a delight.

Step 5: Cooking the skewers
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Place the skewers on the grill and let them cook for about 15 minutes, turning them periodically to achieve even browning. You will know they are ready when the chicken is well cooked and the vegetables are tender.

Serving suggestion:
These chicken skewers go wonderfully with a garlic sauce, but you can also try a tzatziki sauce or a salad of tomatoes and cucumbers for a healthy lunch.

Variations:
If you want to experiment, you can replace the chicken with pork or lamb, or add other vegetables like zucchini or squash. You can also marinate the chicken in olive oil and herbs a few hours before cooking to intensify the flavors.

These chicken skewers with vegetables are not only easy to prepare but also healthy and full of flavor. Try this simple and quick recipe and enjoy a delicious dish, perfect for any occasion!
