Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Chicken breast
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Red onion, sliced into wedges
• 2 medium Bell peppers (assorted colors), cut into 1-inch squares
• 20 units Cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into 1 1/2-inch cubes and set aside in a large bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, and black pepper.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces and mix well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours for best flavor.

Step 4

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Assemble the skewers by alternating the marinated chicken cubes, red onion wedges, bell pepper squares, and cherry tomatoes.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove from the grill and garnish the skewers with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Enjoy your low sodium Mediterranean grilled chicken skewers with a side of couscous or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
