Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 8 ounces chorizo sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, lime juice, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
2. Add the chicken pieces, chorizo slices, bell peppers, and red onion to the marinade. Toss until everything is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
3. While the meat is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Thread the marinated chicken, chorizo, bell peppers, and red onion onto skewers, alternating between the ingredients.
5. Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, or until the chicken is cooked through and the chorizo is slightly crispy.
6. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
7. Serve the chorizo and chicken skewers hot as a main dish, with a side of your choice like rice or grilled vegetables.
