Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs. chicken breasts cut into 1.5" pieces
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 bell peppers red, yellow, or orange (or a combination), halved and seeded

Instructions

  1. Mix together the cut up chicken breasts, olive oil (2 tablespoons), garlic powder (1 teaspoon), chili powder (1 teaspoon), and plenty of salt and pepper in a bowl, making sure to completely coat the chicken.
  2. Skewer the chicken pieces onto metal or soaked bamboo skewers.
  3. Grill on medium-high heat for 10 minutes, flip, and grill for another 10 minutes (or until chicken is cooked through).
  4. While the chicken is cooking, add the bell peppers (skin side down) and onion (cut side down) to the grill. Cook until charred (about 10-15 minutes).
  5. Add the peppers, onion, cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped but not completely pulverized (like relish).
