Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 unit red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 unit red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 unit zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
- 10 units wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Cut the boneless chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and mix well, ensuring that all pieces are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Alternately thread the marinated chicken cubes, red bell pepper pieces, red onion wedges, and zucchini slices onto the skewers.
Lightly oil the grill grate. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks on each side.
Once done, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Dairy-Free Grilled Mediterranean Meat Skewers with a side of your choice, such as a fresh salad or grilled pita.
