Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons fresh oregano
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large red onion
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 medium zucchini

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh oregano, fresh thyme, ground cumin, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix well.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for a deeper flavor.

Step 4

While the chicken is marinating, soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 5

Cut the red onion, red bell pepper, and zucchini into 1-inch pieces.

Step 6

Thread the marinated chicken, onion, bell pepper, and zucchini onto the soaked skewers, alternating between the different ingredients.

Step 7

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the skewers warm with your favorite Paleo-friendly side dishes.
