Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 medium Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Start by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Cut the chicken breasts into 1 to 1.5 inch cubes for even cooking.
Dice the red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into similarly sized pieces to match the chicken cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss well to ensure they are thoroughly coated. Let them sit and absorb the flavors for about 10-15 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken, red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion pieces alternately onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Place the brochettes on the hot grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and shows clear juices when pierced, with light charring visible on the vegetables.
Remove the brochettes from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a side salad or your favorite low-carb accompaniment. Enjoy your healthy, delicious, low-carb meal!
