Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 large Red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 large Yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 medium Red onion, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, ground cumin, parsley, and thyme to create the marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion wedges.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Remove the brochettes from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the Paleo Grilled Chicken Brochettes warm, and enjoy your delicious, paleo-friendly meal!
