Instructions
- To make the vinaigrette: combine all ingredients in a bowl or glass jar.
- Mix the chicken, half of the vinaigrette, and the paprika in a bowl. Thread the chicken onto the skewers.
- Set your grill, grill pan, or skillet to medium-high heat. Grill the peppers until charred all over, place in a large bowl, cover and let steam for 10 minutes. Remove the charred skin, then deseed and slice the peppers. Submerge the charred peppers in the vinaigrette.
