Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 1 pound Lean beef sirloin
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 4 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 12 units Wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Step 2
Cut the chicken breast and beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes, ensuring even sizes for uniform cooking.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Step 4
Add the chicken and beef cubes to the bowl and toss well to coat all pieces evenly with the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for more intense flavor.
Step 5
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375-400°F (190-200°C).
Step 6
Thread the marinated chicken and beef cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating the meats for color and variety.
Step 7
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the beef reaches your desired doneness.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the skewers hot with your favorite side dishes, such as a fresh salad or grilled vegetables, for a complete high-protein meal.
