Cuban Chicken Skewers

Cuban Chicken Skewers

1/2 C. orange juice
3 T. fresh lemon juice
1 T. 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 lb. uncooked chicken breast, boneless and skinless, cut into 32 chunks
12 medium jalapeo pepper(s), halved lengthwise, seeded
2 serving olive oil cooking spray (5 one-second sprays per serving)

Combine orange and lemon juices, oil, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt and oregano in a re-sealable plastic food storage bag. Add chicken and peppers. Seal bag and turn to coat. Place bag on a plate on 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. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
