Grilled Chicken and Chorizo Skewers

These delicious grilled skewers bring together tender chicken, spicy chorizo, and a medley of colorful vegetables. Perfect for a summer cookout or a quick weeknight dinner!

Ingredients

• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 20 pieces
• 8 ounces Spanish chorizo, cut into -inch pieces
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
• Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch squares
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
• 4 (12-inch) bamboo or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1: Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.

Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the chicken and chorizo. Add olive oil, sherry vinegar, chopped oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until the chicken and chorizo are well coated with the seasoning mixture.

Step 3: Thread the chicken, chorizo, red onion, and bell pepper onto the skewers, alternating the ingredients. Be sure that each piece of chicken is placed next to a piece of chorizo for even cooking and flavor.

Step 4: Place the skewers on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to chill.

Step 5: Once the grill is ready, cook the skewers, turning occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink inside.
