How to make it

  1. 1

    Start by preparing your chicken. Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breast into bite sized pieces, about 1 inch cubes.

  2. 2

    Next, get your bell peppers ready. Wash them, remove the seeds, and cut them into similar sized pieces as your chicken. You can use different colors for a pretty presentation.

  3. 3

    Thread the chicken and bell pepper pieces alternately onto your skewers. If you are using wooden skewers, remember to soak them in water for about 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.

  4. 4

    Now, let us make the zesty avocado cream. In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork until mostly smooth. Squeeze the juice from the large lime over the avocado. Add the chopped fresh cilantro, a pinch of salt, and a grind of pepper, then stir it all together.

  5. 5

    Cook your skewers. You can grill them over medium heat for 8 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the peppers are tender crisp. Alternatively, you can broil them in your oven for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Serve hot with a generous dollop of that delicious avocado cream. Enjoy your vibrant and flavorful meal!
