Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs chicken breast
- 0.25 cups lemon juice
- 0.25 cups olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 3 pieces bell peppers
- 1 pieces red onion
- 1 pieces zucchini
- 10 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
While the chicken is marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water for 15-20 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Wash and cut the bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into 1-inch pieces.
Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini onto the soaked skewers, alternating the ingredients for visual appeal and even cooking.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes to ensure even cooking. The chicken should be fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the kabobs warm with your favorite side dish, such as rice, salad, or pita bread.
