Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken breast
• 1 pound beef sirloin
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 large red onion
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 8 6-inch wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Begin by soaking wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast and beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Dice the red and yellow bell peppers into 1-inch squares, slice the zucchini into thick rounds, and cut the red onion into wedges. Add these to the bowl with the meat.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 5

Pour the marinade over the meat and vegetables. Toss everything together to ensure even coating. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 6

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Thread the marinated meat and vegetables onto soaked skewers, alternating the ingredients for an even distribution.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the meat is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred.

Step 9

Once done, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the skewers before serving.

Step 10

Serve the gluten-free Mediterranean meat skewers hot with your choice of gluten-free sides.
