Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 bell peppers, assorted colors
- 1 zucchini
- 12 wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables: halve cherry tomatoes, cut bell peppers into 1-inch pieces, and slice zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, and zucchini onto the soaked skewers, alternating between chicken and vegetables.
Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are charred, and tender.
Serve hot with a side of fresh salad or cauliflower rice, and enjoy this keto-friendly meal!
