Nothing screams a long summer day louder to me than protein on a stick; in this case, grilled chicken kabobs. When chicken is cubed, marinated, and grilled kabob-style, it becomes a stand-out summer dish.
These AIP-friendly grilled chicken kabobs are marinated in a mixture of orange juice, garlic, and fresh oregano. The sweetness and acidity of the orange juice tenderize the chicken while the garlic and oregano add a Mediterranean flair.
Skewered with salty kalamata olives then grilled until tender and juicy, these kabobs will keep the whole family happy! I recommend serving these over fluffy cauliflower rice with a big cucumber and red onion Greek-style salad on the side. Happy grilling, Sweat Nation!
