Servings: 7-8 people
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 lb beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

2. Place the chicken cubes in one bowl and the beef cubes in another bowl. Divide the marinade evenly between the two bowls, ensuring all the meat is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

3. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

4. Thread the marinated chicken and beef cubes alternately onto the soaked wooden skewers, dividing them evenly among the skewers.

5. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and has a nice char.

6. Serve the Mediterranean protein-packed chicken and beef skewers hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.

Special Tips or Variations:

- You can customize the marinade by adding lemon juice, red pepper flakes, or fresh herbs like parsley or mint for extra flavor.

- Feel free to add your favorite vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or cherry tomatoes to the skewers for a complete meal. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.

- These skewers can also be cooked in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes if you prefer to bake them instead of grilling.
