Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Lemon juice
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Red onion, cut into chunks
• 20 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 2 medium Bell peppers (any color), cut into chunks
• 10 pieces Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

Start by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes if using wooden skewers to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and mix well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 5

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables by cutting the red onion and bell peppers into similar-sized chunks and set aside with the cherry tomatoes.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Assemble the skewers by alternating pieces of marinated chicken, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and bell peppers until all ingredients are used up.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 10 minutes, turning skewers occasionally to ensure all sides are cooked evenly, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has grill marks.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the skewers hot with a side of tzatziki sauce or a green salad for a complete low-carb meal.
