Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup  olive oil
  • 1/4 cup  lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup  white vinegar
  • 2 cloves  garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon  ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon  dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon  dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon  ground black pepper
  • 2 pounds  skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • wooden skewers
  • 2 large green or red bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large onion, quartered and separated into pieces
  • 12  cherry tomatoes
  • 12 fresh mushrooms

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, cumin, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the chicken and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap; marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  • Soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes before use.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat; lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off excess liquid. Discard the remaining marinade. Alternately thread pieces of the marinated chicken with pieces of bell pepper, onion, cherry tomatoes, and mushrooms onto the skewers.
  •  Cook the skewers on the preheated grill, turning frequently until nicely browned on all sides, and the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes.
