Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 medium Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon 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.
Dice the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Chop the red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into similar 1-inch pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chopped chicken pieces, ensuring they are well coated. Let it sit and marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 30 minutes if time permits.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes alternately with the vegetables onto the soaked wooden skewers, distributing evenly.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), and the vegetables are charred.
Remove the skewers from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled meat skewers hot as a delightful, Whole30-compliant main dish.
