Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large zucchini
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium red onion
• 6 pieces wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for optimal flavor.

Step 4

Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.

Step 5

While the chicken is marinating, cut the zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion into 1-inch pieces.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the wooden skewers, alternating with pieces of zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char.

Step 9

Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot, with a side of your favorite keto-friendly salad or dip.
