Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 piece Red bell pepper
- 1 piece Yellow bell pepper
- 1 piece Zucchini
- 1 piece Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning.
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Chop the red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into bite-sized pieces, roughly matching the size of the chicken cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and mix well to coat evenly. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes while preparing the vegetables.
Thread the chicken and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between chicken, bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion for variety and visual appeal.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
Remove the skewers from the grill and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve hot as is, or pair with a side of rice, salad, or a dipping sauce of your choice.
