Ingredients
1 ½ lbs chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
1 red onion, cut into wedges
1 zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
1/4 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Place chicken in a resealable bag or large bowl. Pour marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (375°F/190°C).
- Thread chicken, bell peppers, onion, and zucchini onto skewers, alternating ingredients for a colorful presentation.
- Grill skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is fully cooked and vegetables are slightly charred.
- Serve immediately with sides like rice, salad, or a creamy dipping sauce.
Notes
Marinate chicken longer for more intense flavor (up to 4 hours).
Use metal or pre-soaked wooden skewers to prevent burning.
If you don’t have a grill, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway.
