Bell peppers are in season right now in Florida – and I am completely obsessed with eating as many as possible. Bell peppers are a relatively low carb vegetable that can be eaten in so many ways I never get bored.
How To Pick The Best Bell Pepper
Besides looking for bell peppers that are nice and firm and vibrant in color, you also want to check the bottom of your bell peppers when shopping. Bell peppers with four “bumps” on the bottom tend to be a bit sweeter than ones with only three.

How To Make Low Carb Chicken Kabobs

In a small bowl, mix your chicken kabob marinade ingredients well.
Whisk together and pour 1/3 of the mixture over your chicken. Cover and refrigerate while you prep the vegetables.
While the chicken marinates, cut your bell peppers into chunks, remove stalks from mushrooms, and prepare other veggies you have chosen for your chicken kabobs.
Using wooden kabob skewers begin layering your kabobs – really pushing all of the ingredients together for a good tight fit.
Line up on your grill or on your air fryer oven trays. If using the air fryer oven, cook at 370* for seven minutes.
Remove trays and put remaining low carb chicken marinade on using a basting brush. Flip kabobs and cook for another seven minutes or until chicken is cooked through and veggies are browning.
