Brochettes de Poulet are flavorful chicken skewers marinated in a blend of herbs and citrus, perfect for a healthy barbecue. These skewers are not only delicious but also packed with protein, making them an ideal dish for any occasion.

Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh thyme - 1 teaspoon, chopped
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. Cut the chicken breast into 2.5 cm cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
3. Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
4. While the chicken marinates, prepare the vegetables by cutting the bell pepper into squares and slicing the zucchini.
5. Preheat the grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
6. Thread the marinated chicken, bell pepper, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers, alternating between the chicken and vegetables.
7. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
