I found this one on line while I was putzing around. It sounded good and it seemed quick and easy so I gave it a shot. The flavor was marvelous. It lived up to my expectations.

Equipment
Bamboo skewers, charcoal grill or hibachi, mortar and pestle
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts or 4 chicken thighs
- 1/2 red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch squares
- 1/2 green bell pepper, cut into 1 inch squares
- 2 yellow onions, cut into eighths
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- bamboo skewer
- 1/2 cup oil
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 teaspoon paprika (www.worldspice.com has the real stuff)
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh Mexican oregano
- kosher salt
- black peppercorns
Instructions
Soak the skewers for an hour.
Set charcoal alight.
In your handy mortar grind the Oil, Garlic, Paprika, Oregano, Salt, and Peppercorns.
Skin, debone, and de-fat the chicken.
Cut into 1/2 cubes.
Rinse, pat dry, stir into Marinade.
Coat well.
Thread the Onion, Chicken, Peppers, and Cherry Tomatoes alternately onto the skewers.
Grill over medium coals for 15-20 minutes'til everything is done.
This works well grilled over a hibachi or other small grill on a picnic.
Prepare everything at home and do the grilling at the picnic site.
It's almost as good cooked under the broiler at home.
