You can serve these Cuban-influenced skewers a dozen different ways. For starters, try them with our Grilled Summer Vegetables as shown here, or top with Tropical Fruit Salsa.
 

Ingredients

1/2 cup(s) orange juice   
3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice   
1 tsp olive oil   
2 large garlic clove(s), minced   
1 tsp ground cumin   
1/2 tsp paprika   
1/2 tsp table salt   
1/2 tsp dried oregano   
2 pound(s) uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 32 chunks   
12 small jalapeno pepper(s), halved lengthwise, seeded (do not touch seeds with bare hands)   
2 spray(s) olive oil cooking spray   

Instructions

  • Combine orange and lemon juices, oil, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt and oregano in a resealable plastic food storage bag. Add chicken and peppers; seal bag and turn to coat. Place bag on a plate on the bottom shelf in refrigerator and marinate for 2 to 8 hours.

  • Preheat grill or grill pan. Thread chicken and pepper halves onto 8 metal or wooden skewers, using 4 pieces of chicken and 3 pieces of pepper per skewer; coat with cooking spray. (Note: If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water 30 minutes before use to prevent charring.)

  • Grill skewers, turning often, until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 6 to 8 minutes; serve immediately. Yields 1 skewer per serving.
