Ingredients

• 500 grams boneless skinless chicken breast
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large green bell pepper
• 1 large yellow bell pepper
• 1 large onion
• 20 pieces cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 10 pieces wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 3

Dice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into 1-inch pieces. Peel and cut the onion into similar-sized pieces.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the low sodium soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground black pepper, ground cumin, and smoked paprika to prepare the marinade.

Step 5

Add the chicken cubes, bell peppers, onion pieces, and cherry tomatoes to the marinade. Mix well to ensure everything is coated evenly.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for more intense flavor.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Carefully thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, onion, and cherry tomatoes onto the soaked skewers, alternating between each ingredient for an appealing visual.

Step 9

Grill the skewers for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred and tender.

Step 10

Remove the skewers from the grill and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve the Low Sodium Chicken Shashlik hot with your choice of sides, such as steamed rice or a fresh salad.
