Every time I share a savory recipe I am reminded time and time again that I really ought to be sharing more savory with you! I don’t know why I have this mental block against doing more savory, but I do. And EVERY time I share a new lunch or dinner recipe I think “Man I should do more of these…” Doesn’t hurt I then have leftovers and no need to make dinner that night 😉 

Since completing a Whole30 I actually have been incorporating many more savory meals into my daily routine just like I said I would keep doing. I also find myself wanting to go for more “whole foods” snacks versus sweet bars and things. And I’m still being mindful of added sugars. Not that I think sugar is the devil by any means. Obviously I share tons of sweets with you guys… But when you start to realize how much it adds up on a day-to-day basis, cutting back on the sugar during various meals can be a positive thing.

The New Primal recently came out with some new meat marinades that are paleo and Whole30 compliant – meaning they are dairy-free, grain-free/gluten-free, no soy with zero added sugars. I love using marinade for grilling meat in the summertime, but it can be challenging to find a brand where all of the ingredients line up. Thankfully you don’t have to worry about that with The New Primal marinades. Their ready-to-go marinades really add so much flavor to your dish!

With summer basically here that means it is time to get grilling! Though Mr. FMK would argue it is grilling season all year round, but I digress.

This recipe for chicken kebabs couldn’t be easier, much thanks to the Citrus Herb Meat Marinade. All you have to do is let the chicken cubes soak in the sauce for at least an hour (up to 24 hours), prep pineapple/veggies, and fire up the grill! While the grill is warming up start threading the skewers with the meat, pineapple, and bell peppers. Then just place the skewers on the grill, rotating once or twice until the meat is cooked through and veggies slightly charred.

Oh yes! And I served these chicken kabobs with Cilantro Cauliflower Lime Rice. Super simple; just blend up a head of chopped cauliflower, juice of two limes, garlic salt, and chopped cilantro. No need to warm up really. You can throw that together quick while the chicken kebabs are grilling.

To finish off the meal I added some purple cabbage and sliced avocado as well. This was seriously really satisfying and made great leftovers! I loved the mix of pineapple with the citrus herb chicken kebabs, too.
