Keto Chicken Skewers are incredibly easy to make, require only a few ingredients, are healthy and full of flavor.
They are great served with salads, on their own, on top of zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
The meat turns out unbelievably juicy and tender, with a delicious aroma from the Italian herbs and lemon.
Ingredients
Chicken Breast – 2lbs
Olive Oil – 1/4 Cup
Buttermilk – 1/2 Cup
Dried Italian herbs – 1 tablespoon
Parsley – 1/4 Cup – Finely chopped
Garlic Cloves – 6 – Minced
Lemon – 1 – Zested & Juiced
Kosher Salt – 1/2 teaspoon
Black Pepper – 1/2 teaspoon – ground
Instructions
- Clean chicken by running it under cold water, pat dry with paper towels. Cut and discard any fat pieces.
- Cut chicken into 3 inch cubes and add to a large ziplock bag.
- In a medium bowl mix the rest of the ingredients: olive oil, buttermilk, Italian seasoning, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Whisk until fully combined. Pour the mixture on top of the chicken.
- Close the ziplock bag, shake to coat the chicken evenly in the marinade and refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight. Preferably, shake and toss the chicken during this period a few times, so it marinates evenly.
- For outdoor grilling, heat the grill until hot and spray it with cooking oil. For indoor cooking, place a cast iron grill pan oven medium-high heat and add to it about 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- If desired, arrange the chicken pieces on wooden skewers. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the middle.
- Serve with a salad, lemon and your favorite dressing for dipping.
