A super quick and simple dish, these keto chicken kebabs are the perfect meal for a warm night or for a BBQ. Marinate ahead for maximum flavour, but these can also be marinated for a short amount of time if you are in a rush.
I buy my halloumi from a local deli and the quality is always much higher than at the supermarkets. I have tried supermarket halloumi before and it cracked, so if you only have access to the supermarket stuff, I would suggest letting it come to room temperature before skewering it to help with the cracking.
Lastly, if you are using wooden or bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 10 minutes as this stops the wood burning while you are cooking it.
Pair this with my Keto Pumpkin and Feta Salad for a complete, nutritious and keto friendly meal.

Hi Stephanie, you will see at the top of the recipe that it makes 8 skewers and the macros are calculated based on this. I usually have 2 - 3 with a salad as well.
