Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 large lemon
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 8 pieces metal or soaked bamboo skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Chop the red and yellow bell peppers and zucchini into 1-inch pieces. Peel and cut the red onion into similar-sized chunks.
Zest and juice the lemon, then add both to the chicken. Add olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Toss the chicken cubes in the marinade thoroughly, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread a piece of chicken onto a skewer followed by a piece of each vegetable. Repeat until each skewer is filled, leaving enough space at each end to handle them easily.
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. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C).
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve the kebabs hot and enjoy a delicious, low-carb meal.
