Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium Red onion, cut into chunks
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 8 units Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, alternating with chunks of red onion, green bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes.
Place the skewers on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Turn the skewers halfway through to ensure even cooking, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.
Once cooked, remove the kebabs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with a side salad or a low carb dipping sauce of your choice.
