Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large bell pepper
- 1 medium red onion
Directions
Step 1
Cut the boneless chicken breast into 2-inch cubes.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken cubes to the bowl of marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld, or overnight for best results.
Step 4
While the chicken is marinating, cut the bell pepper and red onion into similar-sized pieces as the chicken.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or prepare a grill pan on the stove.
Step 6
Thread chicken cubes, bell pepper pieces, and red onion pieces onto skewers, alternating between them.
Step 7
Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
Step 8
Remove from the grill and let cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Serve the Keto Chicken Shish Kebabs hot, optionally with a keto-friendly side like a green salad.
