Serves: 8 skewers
Ingredients
  • 3 chicken breasts
  • ½ to ¾ c. cilantro
  • ½ c. lime juice
  • 1 T. olive oil
  • Spices: sea salt, black pepper, and your choice of paprika, cayenne, and/or chili powder
  • ½ onion
  • 1 bell pepper
  • veggies of choice: tomato, mushroom, cauliflower, squash
  • 8 bamboo skewers
Instructions
  1. Chop your chicken into bite sized pieces.
  2. Coat your chicken pieces with the spices. It's easiest to do this by throwing the spices in a Ziploc bag and tossing it around, a la shake 'n bake!
  3. Add the cilantro, lime juice and olive oil to a food processor to make a marinade (or short cut it and just throw it all in the Ziploc bag with the chicken as is!)
  4. Smoosh the bag around until the chicken pieces are all covered in spices and marinade; put in the fridge for at least 3 hours, preferably longer. Overnight would not be too long.
  5. Two hours before grilling, place the bamboo skewers in water to soak.
  6. One hour before grilling, begin cutting your veggies into bite sized pieces.
  7. Make your skewers: stack the veggies and meat on the skewers in whatever order you would like.
  8. Heat up your grill, lay the skewers on the grill, and cook about 15 minutes total, turning halfway through cooking.
  9. Top with chopped up tomatos, if you like, and enjoy a healthy grilled summer dish!
Notes
For fructose friendliness, simply discard the onion after cooking.
