AIP Friendly Garlic-Rosemary Chicken Skewers
These skewers are proof that eating to support your immune system doesn't have to mean bland, boring food. Juicy chicken thighs soak up a fragrant marinade of fresh rosemary, thyme, garlic, lemon, turmeric, and ginger — every single ingredient is clean and protocol-friendly, so there's nothing to second-guess. The combination of bright citrus zest and earthy herbs does the heavy lifting here, delivering layers of flavor without relying on any of the grains, legumes, nightshades, or seed-based spices that can make grilling season feel off-limits. After at least an hour in the marinade, the chicken hits a screaming-hot grill and develops those deeply golden, slightly charred edges that make skewers so satisfying to eat. A quick three-minute rest keeps everything tender and juicy before you scatter fresh parsley on top and squeeze over a little extra lemon. This recipe makes four servings, so it's easy to pull off for a weeknight dinner or prep ahead for lunches throughout the week.
