Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pieces red bell peppers, cut into chunks
- 1 piece yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 piece red onion, cut into chunks
- 2 pieces zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
- 8 pieces wooden skewers, soaked in water
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the chicken cubes, red and yellow bell pepper chunks, red onion, and zucchini slices onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating between the different items for variety.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook, turning occasionally, for about 12-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled chicken kebabs with a side of your favorite Whole30-compliant salad or vegetables.
