Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken breast
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 large red onion
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 medium garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon oregano, dried
• 1 teaspoon thyme, dried
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes, about 1 inch each.

Step 3

Dice the red bell pepper and zucchini into similar sized pieces as the chicken.

Step 4

Peel the red onion and cut it into wedges, keeping the layers together as much as possible.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

Step 6

Add the cubed chicken to the marinade and toss until thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.

Step 7

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 8

Thread the chicken cubes, red bell pepper, zucchini, and onion onto the skewers, alternating between the different ingredients for a colorfully layered kebab.

Step 9

Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve the Paleo Classic Grilled Kebabs hot, alongside your favorite Paleo-friendly sides.
