Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large bell pepper
- 1 medium red onion
Instructions
Cut the boneless chicken breast into 2-inch cubes.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the bowl of marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld, or overnight for best results.
While the chicken is marinating, cut the bell pepper and red onion into similar-sized pieces as the chicken.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or prepare a grill pan on the stove.
Thread chicken cubes, bell pepper pieces, and red onion pieces onto skewers, alternating between them.
Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
Remove from the grill and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve the Keto Chicken Shish Kebabs hot, optionally with a keto-friendly side like a green salad.
