Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon cumin
1/4 cup mild chili pepper, paste (aji panca, if available)
1/2 cup vinegar, divided
1 tablespoon salt (or to your taste)
2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
4 chicken breast halves (boneless, skinless)
1 red bell pepper
1 large red onion
15 large mushrooms (whole)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
wooden skewer, soaked in water for 1 hour (15 skewers)

Steps:

  • Mash the garlic with a mortar and pestle or garlic press. Add a little water if necessary to make a paste. Make the marinade in a bowl, mixing the crushed garlic, 1/4 cup of the vinegar, 1/4 cup chile pepper paste, 1 tablespoons cumin, 1 tbsp salt, and 2 teaspoons black pepper.
  • Cut the chicken breasts into 1 inch by 2 inch cubes. Place chicken pieces in bowl with the marinade and stir well. Marinate the chicken at least one hour or overnight in the refrigerator for best flavor.
  • Peel the onion and cut into 1 inch wedges. Remove the seeds and the white part of the bell pepper and cut into 1 inch chunks. Place the chicken and vegetable pieces on the wooden skewers, alternating them.
  • Make a basting mixture of 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/4 cup vinegar and a pinch of cumin.
  • Prepare the grill and grill chicken skewers for 5 minutes on each side. Baste several times during cooking.
  • Check doneness by cutting into a piece of chicken. If still pink on the inside, continue to grill checking frequently. Do not overcook.
  • Remove from the grill and serve with rice and grilled corn on the cob.

These chicken skewers were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have marinated them for longer next time.

These chicken skewers are so easy to make and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can marinate the chicken ahead of time, so I can just throw them on the grill when I'm ready to eat.
