Ingredients

• 500 grams boneless chicken breast
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large red onion
• 2 medium bell peppers
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Cut the boneless chicken breast into bite-sized cubes and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken cubes to the bowl and mix until the chicken is well-coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 4

While the chicken is marinating, cut the red onion and bell peppers into similar-sized pieces as the chicken cubes.

Step 5

Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Thread the chicken cubes, red onion, and bell peppers onto skewers, alternating between the meat and veggies.

Step 7

Brush a little olive oil on the grill grate to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill.

Step 8

Cook the skewers for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred.

Step 9

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve the low carb chicken kebabs with a side of mixed salad or your favorite low-carb vegetables.
