Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless chicken breasts
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 medium zucchini
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 8 pieces bamboo skewers
Instructions
Begin by soaking the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
Cube the chicken breasts into one-inch pieces and set aside.
Cut the red and yellow bell peppers into similar-sized pieces as the chicken.
Quarter and separate the layers of the red onion. Cut the zucchini into half-moons, roughly the same thickness as the pepper pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried thyme, black pepper, and sea salt.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate the chicken pieces in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the chicken pieces, bell pepper pieces, onion layers, and zucchini onto the soaked skewers, alternating between chicken and vegetables.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes. Turn the skewers every 3-4 minutes to ensure even cooking and to avoid burning.
Check that the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center before removing from the grill.
Serve the Paleo Brochette Poulet warm, and enjoy them on their own or with a side like a fresh green salad.
