Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 medium red onion
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 pieces wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 3

Chop the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into similar 1-inch pieces to ensure even cooking.

Step 4

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 5

Add the cubed chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 6

Thread the marinated chicken pieces and chopped vegetables alternately onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.

Step 7

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning every few minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve the Paleo Grilled Chicken Kebabs alongside a fresh salad or your choice of Paleo sides for a complete meal.
