Ingredients

• 200 grams chicken breast
• 200 grams salmon fillet
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 medium red onion
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 8 bamboo skewers

Directions

Step 1

Soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.

Step 2

Dice the chicken breast and salmon fillet into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Cut the red bell pepper and zucchini into 1-inch pieces. Halve and quarter the red onion and separate the layers. Add the vegetables to the mixing bowl with the proteins.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin powder, paprika, black pepper, and sea salt to create the marinade.

Step 5

Pour the marinade over the chicken, salmon, and vegetables in the large bowl. Toss everything together until well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 6

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken, salmon, and vegetables onto the soaked skewers, alternating between the proteins and vegetables for variety.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 9

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving.

Step 10

Serve the heart-healthy mixed kebabs warm, alongside a side of whole-grain couscous or quinoa if desired.
