Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 large red onion
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1.5 teaspoons fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Start by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes and place them into a large mixing bowl.
Chop the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into squares similar in size to the chicken pieces.
Cut the red onion into wedges. Separate the layers slightly to make them easier to skewer.
In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, lemon juice, coconut aminos, olive oil, paprika, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces in the mixing bowl. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, or overnight for more intense flavors.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the wooden skewers, alternating with bell pepper pieces and onion layers.
Place the skewers onto the grill, ensuring they do not overlap.
Grill the chicken shashlik for approximately 10-12 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly charred on the outside.
Serve hot, paired with a fresh salad or cauliflower rice for a complete Whole30 meal.
