Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless chicken breast
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 1 large red onion
- 1 large zucchini
- 60 ml olive oil
- 30 ml lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Cut the boneless chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Dice the red and green bell peppers into similar 1-inch pieces.
Cut the red onion and zucchini into chunks approximately the same size as the chicken and peppers.
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, stirring well until all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread chicken cubes onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of bell pepper, onion, and zucchini.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred.
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled kebabs hot, paired with your favorite dipping sauce or side dish.
