Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 1 medium red onion
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
Slice the red and green bell peppers into 1-inch pieces. Cut the red onion into similar-sized chunks.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and stir until all pieces are well-coated. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat on the stove.
Thread the chicken, bell peppers, onions, and cherry tomatoes onto the soaked skewers, alternating between each ingredient for variety.
Place the kebabs on the preheated grill. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and has nice grill marks.
Remove from the grill and let the kebabs rest for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy your heart-healthy grilled chicken kebabs with a side of whole-grain bread or a fresh salad.
