Skewers
- 1.5 lbboneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 mediumbell peppers(one red, one yellow, cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 1 largered onion(cut into 1-inch wedges)
- 1 pintcherry tomatoes
- 1 mediumzucchini(cut into 1/2-inch thick half-moons)
Marinade
- 0.5 cupolive oil
- 0.25 cupfresh lemon juice
- 2 clovesgarlic(minced)
- 1 tbspdried oregano
- 1 tbspdried thyme
- 1 tsppaprika
- 1 tspsalt(to taste)
- 0.5 tspblack pepper(freshly ground, to taste)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, tossing to ensure they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours, for best flavor.
Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables (bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, zucchini) alternately onto the skewers.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F / 190-200°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the skewers on the hot grill. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly charred. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
