Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast, cubed
- 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- 60 ml olive oil
- 30 ml fresh lemon juice
- 30 grams fresh parsley, chopped
- 15 grams fresh basil, chopped
- 5 grams fresh thyme leaves
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, basil, thyme, garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the herb marinade.
Add the cubed chicken breast, chopped red bell pepper, and sliced zucchini to the marinade. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the chicken, red bell pepper, and zucchini pieces onto the soaked skewers, alternating as desired.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Remove from the grill and let the skewers rest for a minute or two before serving.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your flavorful keto-friendly grilled skewers!
