  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 pieces wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, basil, thyme, garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the herb marinade.

Step 3

Add the cubed chicken breast, chopped red bell pepper, and sliced zucchini to the marinade. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Thread the chicken, red bell pepper, and zucchini pieces onto the soaked skewers, alternating as desired.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Remove from the grill and let the skewers rest for a minute or two before serving.

Step 9

Serve immediately, and enjoy your flavorful keto-friendly grilled skewers!
