Chicken Adobo Kebabs
Serves 2

Ingredients:
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 red onion, peeled, quartered, and separated into layers
Lemon wedges

Instructions:
1. Prepare a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.
2. In a medium bowl, blend 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, cumin, cinnamon, and pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
3. In a small bowl, mix remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice and oil. Set aside.
4. Thread chicken and onion pieces alternately onto 4 or 8 skewers.
