Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 | Skinless chicken breasts |
| 1/3 cup | Extra virgin olive oil |
| 2 cloves | Garlic |
| 1/2 cup | Lime juice |
| 1 cup | Cilantro |
| 3 | Poblano chile |
| 1 | Orange |
| To taste | Salt and pepper |
Instructions:
-
Marinate the Chicken:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the skinless chicken breasts (cut into chunks), extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Toss everything together until the chicken is evenly coated. Allow the mixture to marinate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
-
Prepare the Skewers:
- While the chicken is marinating, soak wooden skewers in water to prevent them from burning on the grill. Then, alternate threading the marinated chicken chunks and poblano chile pieces onto the skewers. Season the skewers generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
-
-
Grill the Kabobs:
- Preheat your grill to a moderate flame. Once hot, place the prepared skewers on the grill. Cook the kabobs for approximately 3 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and has developed a delicious charred exterior.
-
Final Touches:
- Once the chicken kabobs are cooked to perfection, remove them from the grill. Before serving, give them a final seasoning of salt and pepper to taste. For an extra burst of citrus flavor, squeeze fresh orange juice over the hot chicken kabobs.
