This recipe for Easy Low-Carb Citrus-Ginger Grilled Chicken Kabobs makes a main course everyone at the table will love. This delicious meal works for low-carb, LC/HF, ketogenic, Atkins, gluten-free, Banting and Paleo diets. Time estimate does not include marinating time.
In a medium bowl, combine the lemon juice, lime juice, lemon zest, lime zest, olive oil, red pepper flakes, cilantro, ginger root, garlic, sweetener, and salt. Stir well.
Add chicken chunks to the prepared marinade. Stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours.
If using bamboo skewers, begin soaking them in water about 1 hour before the chicken has completed marinating. This will prevent them from burning when the are on the grill.
When marinading time is done, preheat grill to high. Prepare the kabobs by alternating chicken chunks and red onion pieces on the skewers. I put four chicken chunks and 3-4 pieces of onion on each skewer.
Brush remaining marinade on the skewers, paying close attention to the onion.
Place skewers on the grill. Turn heat to low, close the top of the grill, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the bottom is done. Turn kabobs and close grill. Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
Remove from grill and serve.
