Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 1 pound Lean beef sirloin
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 4 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 12 units Wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Cut the chicken breast and beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes, ensuring even sizes for uniform cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Add the chicken and beef cubes to the bowl and toss well to coat all pieces evenly with the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for more intense flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375-400°F (190-200°C).
Thread the marinated chicken and beef cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating the meats for color and variety.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the beef reaches your desired doneness.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the skewers hot with your favorite side dishes, such as a fresh salad or grilled vegetables, for a complete high-protein meal.
