Chicken Skewers with Rice

_{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
