Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 large Red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large Yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium Red onion, cut into wedges
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, ground cumin, parsley, and thyme to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion wedges.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the brochettes from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Paleo Grilled Chicken Brochettes warm, and enjoy your delicious, paleo-friendly meal!
