Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 1 pound Lamb leg
- 2 whole Red bell pepper
- 2 whole Zucchini
- 1 large Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 12 Wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Cut the chicken breast and lamb leg into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
Chop red bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into similarly-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, oregano, thyme, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
In two separate bowls, coat the chicken and lamb with half of the marinade each. Mix well to ensure even coating.
Thread the skewers by alternately adding pieces of chicken, lamb, red bell pepper, zucchini, and onion.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and vegetables are tender, ensuring nice grill marks are achieved.
Sprinkle the cooked kebabs with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot, alongside a fresh Mediterranean salad or whole-grain side dish of your choice.
