How to make

Keto BBQ Chicken Kebabs

Time needed: 20 minutes

Make the perfect Keto Chicken Kebabs

  1. Prep the Marinade

    Start by mixing all the ingredients for the marinade together in a large mixing bowl.

  2. Add the Chicken

    Now add the chicken pieces into the mix and mix them with your hands until all the chicken pieces are well covered in marinade.
    Cover the bowl, (I use plastic wrap for this), and put in the fridge for at least 4 hours.

  3. Cooking

    When you’re ready to make the kebabs, thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers to your preference and grill for 4/5 minutes each side.

Serving Suggestions:

Cauliflower Rice:

Complement your kebabs with a side of cauliflower rice.

Simply grate or pulse cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble rice grains. Sauté the cauliflower rice in a pan with some olive oil until it’s tender.

The cauliflower rice adds a low-carb alternative to traditional rice, allowing you to savor every bite of the succulent kebabs guilt-free.


Keto Salad

Fresh Salad Bed:

Create a light and refreshing base for your kebabs by serving them over a bed of fresh lettuce leaves with some carrot.

The crisp lettuce provides a contrasting crunch to the tender meat and veggies, while also acting as a vessel to catch any delicious drippings from the kebabs. It’s a simple yet satisfying way to enjoy these keto skewers.


Yogurt Dip:

Pair your kebabs with a cool and tangy yogurt dip.

Mix together Greek yogurt, a squeeze of lemon juice, minced garlic, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs like dill or parsley.

This refreshing dip perfectly balances the flavors of the kebabs and adds a creamy element that will leave your taste buds dancing.
