INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Chop the chicken into cubes.
  • Put the lemon juice, avocado oil, garlic, paprika, salt, oregano, nutmeg and pepper in a bowl.
  • Immersion blend the sauce until smooth.
  • Place chicken cubes and shrimp in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour half of the marinade and seal the bag, removing as much air as possible. Place in refrigerator and marinate for 20 minutes.
  • Chop the bell peppers and onion.
  • Then, thread the chicken, shrimp and veggies onto the skewers. I skewered each on their own skewer to not mix the fish and chicken.
  • Chop the tomatoes, cucumber and garlic. Add to a bowl and mix with the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic powder and oregano.
  • Marinate the garbanzo beans in a bowl with the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic powder and oregano.
  • Then, heat the barbecue to medium-high heat.
  • Once heated, place the skewers on the grill. Cook on each side for 4 minutes or so or until fully cooked.
  • While the chicken is cooking, warm the rice.  
  • Then, serve in a plate or bowl with your favorite toppings.
