Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 large red onion
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 medium garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon oregano, dried
- 1 teaspoon thyme, dried
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes, about 1 inch each.
Dice the red bell pepper and zucchini into similar sized pieces as the chicken.
Peel the red onion and cut it into wedges, keeping the layers together as much as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the cubed chicken to the marinade and toss until thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the chicken cubes, red bell pepper, zucchini, and onion onto the skewers, alternating between the different ingredients for a colorfully layered kebab.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the Paleo Classic Grilled Kebabs hot, alongside your favorite Paleo-friendly sides.
