Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large bell peppers
- 1 large red onion
- 8 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, begin by soaking them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the herb marinade over the chicken cubes, mixing until all pieces are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Cut the bell peppers into 1-inch squares and the red onion into similar-sized chunks.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating between pieces of chicken and vegetables.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the skewers hot with your favorite Paleo side dishes.
