Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium red onion, chopped into chunks
- 2 units bell peppers, chopped into chunks
- 8 units skewers
Instructions
Start by cutting the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground paprika, ground turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Stir to mix well.
Add the chicken cubes into the marinade and stir to coat all the pieces evenly. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning while grilling.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, alternating with chunks of red onion and bell peppers.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.
Remove the kababs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Serve the Paleo Chicken Kabab hot, garnished with additional lemon wedges if desired.
