👨🍳 Instructions

Marinate the Chicken:
Place chicken, sliced onions, and smashed garlic in a zip-top bag or airtight container.
In a bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients. Pour over chicken, seal, and refrigerate overnight. -
Prep the Skewers:
If using wooden skewers, soak in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning. -
Grill the Chicken:
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and spray lightly with avocado or olive oil.
Thread chicken pieces onto skewers.
Grill for 4–5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and lightly charred. -
Caramelize the Onions:
Remove skewers and reduce heat to medium. Add the marinated onions to the same pan and sauté for 10–12 minutes until soft and golden. -
Serve & Enjoy:
Pile the grilled chicken and onions onto toasted gluten-free ciabatta or buns. Optional: add a swipe of tzatziki or fresh herbs.
💡 Notes & Tips
-
🔥 Using an outdoor grill? Preheat to 450°F and grill chicken for 4 minutes per side, rotating 3 times for even cooking.
-
🥗 These skewers are also great over rice bowls or salad greens for a lighter option.
-
🍋 For extra zing, add a splash of lemon juice over the cooked chicken before serving.
