A flavorful and juicy grilled chicken skewer recipe perfect for low-FODMAP diets, featuring a garlic-free marinade with fresh herbs and lemon.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 large lemon (zest and juice)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or brown sugar (optional)
  • Wooden or metal skewers (wooden soaked for 30 minutes)

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon zest and juice, rosemary, thyme, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and maple syrup or brown sugar if using. Whisk until well blended (about 3 minutes).
  2. Trim excess fat from chicken thighs and cut into roughly 1.5-inch chunks for even cooking (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add chicken pieces to the marinade and toss gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, ideally 1-2 hours.
  4. Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes if using. Thread 4-5 pieces of chicken onto each skewer, leaving space between pieces.
  5. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Brush grates or pan with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  6. Grill skewers for 5-6 minutes per side, turning once, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and has nice grill marks.
  7. Remove skewers and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes but no longer than 4 hours to avoid mushy texture. Soak wooden skewers to prevent burning. Turn skewers only once or twice during grilling to retain juiciness. Let skewers rest after grilling for best flavor. Avoid overcrowding the grill to prevent steaming.
