Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast
- 60 ml olive oil
- 30 ml lemon juice
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons, dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon, dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large, cut into chunks zucchini
- 1 medium, any color, cut into chunks bell pepper
- 1 medium, cut into chunks red onion
- 50 grams, pitted kalamata olives
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Add the chicken cubes into the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Step 4
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Step 5
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, alternating with pieces of zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion.
Step 7
Place the skewers on the grill. Cook each side for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks.
Step 8
Remove skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with kalamata olives.
Step 9
Serve immediately, optionally with a side of low-carb tzatziki sauce.
