Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Boneless skinless chicken breast
- 2 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 large Zucchini
- 1 large Red onion
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.
Chop the red bell peppers into 1-inch squares. Slice the zucchini into 1/2-inch thick rounds, and cut the red onion into chunks similar in size to the peppers.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes in the bowl. Toss well to coat the chicken evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours for best flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken, red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating between the ingredients as you prefer.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking, until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the shish kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Whole30 Classic Shish Kebab with a side of your favorite Whole30 compliant salad or cauliflower rice.
