Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium red onion
- 2 large bell peppers
- 8 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Dice the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes, ensuring even sizes for consistent cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, coating them thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Cut the red onion and bell peppers into 1-inch pieces.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes and vegetable pieces alternately onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill, cooking for about 10-15 minutes. Turn the skewers occasionally to ensure even cooking on all sides.
Check the chicken for doneness; it should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Paleo Kebab Chicken with your favorite Paleo-friendly side dishes or salads.
