Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 1 large Red onion
- 12 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tbsp Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tsp Fresh rosemary leaves
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Start by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Dice the red and green bell peppers into similar 1-inch pieces and add them to the bowl.
Peel and cut the red onion into wedges and add to the bowl with the chicken and peppers.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the bowl as well.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the marinade over the chicken and vegetables, tossing to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to soak up the flavors.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, onions, and cherry tomatoes onto the soaked skewers, alternating between ingredients for a colorful presentation.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and shows grill marks.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve your Heart-Healthy Brochette Poulet warm, and enjoy!
