Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Plant-based chicken pieces
- 60 ml Lemon juice
- 60 ml Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 30 grams Fresh parsley, chopped
- 15 grams Fresh thyme, chopped
- 10 grams Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium Yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium Red onion, cut into chunks
- 1 Zucchini, sliced into rounds
- 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Place the plant-based chicken pieces in a large resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure all pieces are well coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning while grilling.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
While the grill is heating, thread the marinated plant-based chicken, red and yellow bell pepper pieces, red onion chunks, and zucchini slices onto the skewers, alternating ingredients to your liking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the plant-based chicken is well heated and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately. Enjoy your Vegetarian Grilled Chicken Skewers with Lemon Herb Marinade with your favorite side dishes.
