Grilled Chicken Skewers

July 19, 2018 By //  by Brie OCD Leave a Comment

chicken skewers

These grilled chicken skewers are the epitome of summer! They are light, healthy and yummy! They are packed with protein and veggies so you get all the health without the heavy.

NUTRITION

Each skewer has 100 calories, 7g carbs, 1.5g fat, and 15g protein! This recipe makes 10 skewers total (17″ skewers) and I usually eat 2 in one serving.

PREPARATION

Like I always say, preparation is the key to success! I cubed and marinated the chicken in the morning so that it would be nice and marinated by the time I got home from work. I also cubed the veggies in advance and stored them in the fridge (but that isn’t necessary, I just didn’t want to do it later).

******PRO TIP******

Don’t cut the onions too small! They are very hard to get on the skewer if you do. (Trust me, I know firsthand!). Because I cut the onions too small (and I’m a rookie!) it took me 30 minutes to get the skewers prepared! Save yourself the hassle and make sure they are at least 1″ wide.

GLUTEN-FREE AND VEGETARIAN OPTIONS

This recipe can easily be made gluten-free by using a gluten-free marinade. You can buy GF marinades in your local market OR you can make your own! Click here to get Yummly’s 10 best gluten-free marinade recipes! If you are vegetarian you can make vegetarian skewers by loading up each skewer with your favorite veggies!

MARINADE

As I mentioned above, you can make your own marinade or choose any flavor marinade that you prefer! I used teriyaki for this recipe but honestly sky is the limit! You could make these every night with a different flavored marinade and not feel like you are eating the same thing over and over! If you are gluten-free please see above for a link to the 10 best gluten-free marinades!

SKEWER STICKS

I bought reusable metal skewer sticks on Amazon (click here to view/buy) however if you are having a big party and don’t want these metal skewers around children (or intoxicated adults) then just use the wooden ones that you can find in your local supermarket or on Amazon by clicking here! The only thing with using wooden ones is that you need to soak them in advance so that they don’t burn on the grill!

Hope you enjoy this Teriyaki Chicken Skewer Recipe as much as we do!
