Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 zucchini
- 1 onion
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 bamboo skewers
Instructions
Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes.
Chop the red bell pepper, zucchini, and onion into 1-inch pieces.
In a blender or food processor, combine olive oil, parsley, rosemary, thyme, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until the marinade is smooth.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken and vegetables. Pour the herb marinade over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring everything is well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces and vegetables onto the soaked skewers, alternating pieces of chicken, bell pepper, zucchini, and onion.
Place the skewers on the grill. Grill for 5-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm, and enjoy your Whole30 savory grilled skewers!
