Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless chicken breast
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Green bell pepper
• 1 large Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 10 pieces Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cut the boneless chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Chop the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion into similar 1-inch pieces and add them to the bowl with the chicken.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, prepare the marinade by mixing the tomato paste, minced garlic, grated ginger, paprika, ground cumin, red chili powder, lemon juice, coconut aminos, olive oil, sea salt, and ground black pepper.

Step 5

Pour the marinade over the chicken and vegetables, and mix well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for deeper flavor.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables alternately onto the soaked skewers, making sure not to overcrowd each skewer.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the grill, ensuring to turn them occasionally for even cooking, and grill for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly charred on the edges.

Step 9

Remove from the grill and let the shashlik rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Paleo Chicken Shashlik warm, garnished with extra lemon wedges or fresh coriander, as desired.
