Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 red onion
- 8 skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes, ensuring all pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.
In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, chopped rosemary, thyme, and black pepper to form a marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, stirring well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables by cutting the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion into 1-inch pieces.
Soak wooden skewers in water for 10-15 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken, bell pepper pieces, and onion pieces alternately onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each item for even cooking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked through and has a nice char.
Remove the skewers from the grill and allow to rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the skewers with a side salad or brown rice for a complete low-fat meal.
