Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 large red onion, cut into chunks
- 2 medium bell peppers, assorted colors, cut into chunks
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 12 pieces wooden skewers, soaked in water
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces and place them in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces, ensuring that they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating with chunks of red onion and bell peppers.
Place the skewers onto the prepared baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through the cooking time, until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly charred.
Remove the kebabs from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Garnish the kebabs with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve the Whole30 Roasted Chicken Kebabs with a side salad or your favorite compliant sides.
