Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 large red onion
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.
Prepare the vegetables: cut the red and yellow bell peppers into 1-inch pieces, slice the zucchini into thick rounds, and cut the red onion into 1-inch wedges.
In a small bowl, mix together lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and toss until evenly coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator for more flavor.
Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). If using the oven, line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating between ingredients for colorful kabobs.
Place the skewers on the grill or prepared baking sheet. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are slightly charred. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the kabobs from the grill or oven and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a side of mixed greens or quinoa for a complete low-calorie meal.
