Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large red onion, cut into chunks
- 2 large bell peppers, cut into chunks
- 12 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place in a large bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and toss to coat each piece thoroughly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables by cutting the red onion and bell peppers into similar-sized chunks for even cooking.
Preheat a grill or a broiler on high heat. If using a grill, oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating with pieces of onion and bell pepper.
Place the skewers on the grill or under the broiler, cooking each side for about 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
Remove from heat and let the kebabs rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Whole30 compliant kebab chicken with a side of your choice.
