Grilled Chicken Skewers
Chicken chunks actually marinated for real time in olive oil, paprika, and lemon juice before grilling on skewers with peppers and onion - tossing the chicken and grilling immediately, which most quick versions do, isn't marinating at all and leaves the meat under-seasoned.

- 4.Serve hot.
