Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 medium red onion, chopped
- 8 units wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces and place them in a large bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
While marinating, soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Assemble the kebabs by threading pieces of marinated chicken, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion onto the soaked skewers. Alternate between the chicken and vegetables for an even distribution.
Place the assembled kebabs on the preheated grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has grill marks. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C).
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve the Keto Juicy Grilled Chicken Kebabs hot and enjoy!
