Instructions

Step 1/4

Prepare Skewers & Marinade

Soak wooden skewers in water for 15-20 minutes to prevent burning. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create a marinade. Thread chicken cubes and bell pepper chunks onto the skewers, then brush them with the marinade and let sit for 15-20 minutes

Step 2/4

Cook Rice

Rinse rice under cold water until clear, then drain. In a saucepan, combine rice, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low, covered, for 15-20 minutes until tender. Let sit covered for 5 minutes.

Step 3/4

Grill Skewers

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and peppers are slightly charred.
