Keto Grilled Harissa Kebabs: Spice Up Your Dinner!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced into 1-inch chunks
- 1/4 cup harissa sauce
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium red onion, cut into large wedges
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the harissa sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Add the chicken chunks to the bowl, ensuring they are thoroughly coated in the marinade.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for an intensified flavor.
- Heat your grill to a medium-high setting.
- Assemble the skewers by alternating the marinated chicken pieces with the red and green bell peppers and red onion wedges.
- Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning them occasionally to achieve even cooking and a nice char.
- Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
- Once cooked, take the skewers off the grill and allow them to rest for a few moments before serving.
- Enjoy them warm alongside a refreshing low-carb salad or your preferred dipping sauce.
Notes
- For an extra kick, consider letting the chicken marinate overnight.
- You can also swap the chicken for shrimp or beef to mix things up.
- If you desire a milder taste, simply reduce the harissa sauce or incorporate a bit of yogurt into the marinade.
