Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast or beef sirloin
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Red onion
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Cut the chicken breast or beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes.
Chop the red bell pepper, red onion, and zucchini into similarly sized 1-inch pieces to ensure even grilling.
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, chopped fresh thyme, and ground black pepper.
Add the meat cubes to the marinade, tossing well to coat all pieces thoroughly. For best results, allow the meat to marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated meat, red bell pepper, red onion, and zucchini alternately onto the soaked skewers.
Place the skewers on the grill, cooking for about 10-15 minutes. Turn every few minutes to achieve grill marks on all sides and ensure the meat is cooked through to your desired level, avoiding direct flame to prevent charring.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious low sodium herb-marinated skewers.
