Grilled chicken skewers with lemon and thyme bring the summer straight to your grill pan. The fresh marinade of lemon juice, garlic and fresh thyme keeps the chicken tender and juicy, whilst a light zest gives a refined, fragrant finish. A protein-rich dish that sits light on the stomach yet delivers plenty of flavour.

For Phase 1 of your protein diet, this is an ideal choice. With around 40 grams of protein and just a few grams of carbohydrates, you support your muscles and stay satisfied for longer, without sugars or unnecessary carbs getting in the way. The lean chicken breast delivers the pure proteins that take centre stage in this phase and helps keep hunger at bay.

Lovely with a generous portion of grilled green asparagus, a crisp cucumber salad or a handful of mixed leaves with a few extra lemon slices. This keeps the dish fresh, colourful and completely within Phase 1 guidelines.

Zo maak je het

  1. Mix the olive oil, garlic, thyme, lemon juice and zest together to make a marinade.
  2. Coat the chicken pieces in the marinade and leave to infuse for ten minutes.
  3. Thread the chicken onto skewers and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Grill the skewers on a hot griddle pan for about twelve minutes until cooked through and golden brown.
  5. Turn them regularly so they colour evenly all over.
  6. Serve immediately with an extra slice of lemon.

Bewaren

Store the grilled chicken skewers in a covered container in the fridge for up to three days. Warm them briefly in a pan or enjoy them cold with a fresh salad.

Variatietips

Swap the thyme for fresh rosemary or oregano for a Mediterranean touch. A pinch of chilli flakes in the marinade gives the skewers a fiery kick.
