Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken breast or beef sirloin
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Red onion
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 8 pieces Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast or beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes.

Step 3

Chop the red bell pepper, red onion, and zucchini into similarly sized 1-inch pieces to ensure even grilling.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, chopped fresh thyme, and ground black pepper.

Step 5

Add the meat cubes to the marinade, tossing well to coat all pieces thoroughly. For best results, allow the meat to marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.

Step 6

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Thread the marinated meat, red bell pepper, red onion, and zucchini alternately onto the soaked skewers.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the grill, cooking for about 10-15 minutes. Turn every few minutes to achieve grill marks on all sides and ensure the meat is cooked through to your desired level, avoiding direct flame to prevent charring.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious low sodium herb-marinated skewers.
