Succulent Low-Carb Grilled Chicken Skewers

These grilled chicken skewers are a delicious low-carb option perfect for summer barbecues or weeknight dinners. Marinated in a blend of spices and grilled to perfection, they are juicy and flavorful.

This recipe is simple to follow and can be customized with your favorite vegetables. Serve them with a dipping sauce or over a salad for a complete meal.

Preparation of the Marinade

Creating the marinade is the first step to achieving flavorful grilled chicken skewers. Start by combining olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.

Whisk these ingredients together until they form a cohesive mixture. This marinade not only adds flavor but also helps to tenderize the chicken, making it juicy and succulent.

Marinating the Chicken

Once the marinade is ready, add the chicken cubes, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

For those who prefer a more intense flavor, marinating for up to two hours is recommended. This step allows the spices to penetrate the chicken, enhancing its taste.

Preparing the Skewers

While the chicken marinates, prepare your vegetables. Colorful bell peppers and zucchini not only add visual appeal but also contribute to the overall flavor profile.

Cut the bell peppers into chunks and slice the zucchini. Once the chicken is ready, alternate threading the marinated chicken and vegetables onto the skewers, creating a vibrant mix.

Grilling the Skewers

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s hot enough to achieve those coveted grill marks. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes.

Turn the skewers occasionally to ensure even cooking. The chicken should be cooked through and have a beautiful charred exterior, while the vegetables soften and caramelize.

Serving Suggestions

Once grilled to perfection, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is moist and flavorful.

Serve the skewers with a side of your favorite dipping sauce. A fresh salad can complement the meal perfectly, creating a balanced and inviting outdoor dining experience.
