Ingredients:

1½ lbs boneless chicken thighs or beef, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, chopped into chunks
1 green bell pepper, chopped into chunks
1 red onion, cut into wedges
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon cumin
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes)

Instructions:

Marinate the Meat:
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, barbecue sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the meat pieces and mix until well coated. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor.
Assemble the Skewers:
Thread the marinated meat, bell peppers, and onion onto the skewers, alternating for color and flavor.
Grill the Skewers:
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is fully cooked and the vegetables are slightly charred.
Serve:
Let the skewers rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve with rice, salad, or warm flatbreads.
