Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large red onion
- 2 medium bell peppers
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Cut the boneless chicken breast into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the bowl and mix until the chicken is well-coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, cut the red onion and bell peppers into similar-sized pieces as the chicken cubes.
Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the chicken cubes, red onion, and bell peppers onto skewers, alternating between the meat and veggies.
Brush a little olive oil on the grill grate to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill.
Cook the skewers for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the low carb chicken kebabs with a side of mixed salad or your favorite low-carb vegetables.
