Ingredients
- 600g chicken breast, cubed

- ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions
- Combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, barbecue seasoning, salt, pepper, and tomato paste in a mixing bowl.
- Add the chicken and toss until evenly coated.
- Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes. Longer marinating will produce deeper flavour.
- Thread the chicken onto skewers, alternating with vegetables if desired.

- Alternatively, grill, braai, or bake until fully cooked.
- Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 75°C.

Kaizen Tip
Tomato paste helps the spices adhere to the chicken while adding richness and depth of flavour. For even better results, marinate the chicken for a few hours before cooking.
