Chicken Skewers with Slices of Sweet Peppers and Dill – A Flavorful and Easy Recipe
Looking for a vibrant and tasty dish that's perfect for
grilling season or a cozy indoor meal? Chicken skewers with slices of sweet
peppers and dill are not only colorful and appetizing but also incredibly easy
to prepare. Whether you’re hosting a weekend BBQ or craving a healthy homemade
dinner, these skewers are sure to impress your family and guests alike.
Why This Recipe Stands Out
The beauty of this dish lies in its simplicity. It brings
together tender pieces of marinated chicken, sweet bell peppers, and the fresh,
aromatic touch of dill. Sweet peppers add a juicy crunch and a pop of color,
while dill brings a light, citrusy freshness that complements the grilled
flavors perfectly. These skewers are high in protein, low in carbs, and rich in
essential nutrients—making them a guilt-free delight.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 500g
boneless chicken breast or thigh, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1
cup sweet bell peppers, sliced (use a mix of red, yellow, and green)
- 1
tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
- 2
tablespoons olive oil
- 1
tablespoon lemon juice
- 3
cloves garlic, minced
- 1
teaspoon paprika
- Salt
and pepper, to taste
- Skewers
(wooden or metal)
Step-by-Step Preparation
1. Marinate the Chicken:
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, salt, and
pepper. Add the chicken cubes and toss them well. Cover and let it marinate in
the fridge for at least 30 minutes for best flavor.
2. Prepare the Skewers:
Alternate threading the marinated chicken pieces and sliced sweet peppers onto
the skewers. Don’t forget to sprinkle fresh dill over them before grilling.
3. Grill the Skewers:
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Place the skewers and cook
for 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and
slightly charred.
4. Garnish and Serve:
Once grilled, sprinkle a little more dill and a squeeze of lemon over the
skewers. Serve hot with a dip, flatbread, or over a bed of rice.
Serving Tips

skewers go well with yogurt garlic sauce or hummus.

for kids too—just skip the chili if you want a mild version.
