Ingredients

• 4 whole Chicken breast halves
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Lemon juice
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 whole Bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 whole Red onion, cut into wedges
• 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 halves into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 4

Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and toss to ensure each piece is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for stronger flavor.

Step 5

While the chicken is marinating, cut the bell peppers into 1-inch pieces and the red onion into wedges.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the fridge and begin to assemble the skewers by alternating between pieces of chicken, bell pepper, and onion, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Grill the skewers for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred around the edges.

Step 9

Serve the Paleo Greek Souvlaki skewers hot with a side of fresh salad or your favorite Paleo-friendly dip.
