Instructions
    Preparing the Fajita Marinade
  1. 1
    Marinating the Chicken and VegetablesIn a large bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken strips, bell peppers, and onions to the marinade. Mix well to coat evenly.
    For best results, let the mixture marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.
    2. Assembling the Fajita Kabobs
  2. 2
    Skewering the IngredientsPreheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread marinated chicken, bell peppers, and onions alternately onto skewers, leaving a little space between each ingredient.
    Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before skewering to prevent them from burning on the grill.
  3. 3
    Grilling the KabobsA couple grilling kabobs outdoorGrill the fajita kabobs for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred.
    Brush the kabobs with any remaining marinade while grilling for extra flavor and moisture.
