Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast
- 60 ml olive oil
- 30 ml lemon juice
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons, dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon, dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large, cut into chunks zucchini
- 1 medium, any color, cut into chunks bell pepper
- 1 medium, cut into chunks red onion
- 50 grams, pitted kalamata olives
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken cubes into the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, alternating with pieces of zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion.
Place the skewers on the grill. Cook each side for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks.
Remove skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with kalamata olives.
Serve immediately, optionally with a side of low-carb tzatziki sauce.
