Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.
  2. Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes and add to the marinade, tossing thoroughly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 8 hours.
  3. Prepare vegetables by cutting bell peppers and onion into 1-inch chunks; rinse cherry tomatoes.
  4. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. Assemble the kabobs by threading chicken and vegetables onto skewers.
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (400-450°F). Oil the grates with a paper towel dipped in vegetable oil.
  6. Place kabobs on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning them every 3-4 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
