: 25 minutes
Ingredients
Chicken Marinade
- 0.5 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Skewers
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 large peaches pitted and cut into 1-inch wedges
- 1 medium red onion cut into 1-inch pieces
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken cubes and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken, peach wedges, and red onion pieces onto the skewers, alternating ingredients.
- Grill the skewers for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the peaches are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve these skewers on their own, or with a side of rice or a fresh salad. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
