Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 1 large Red onion
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 12 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1 to 1.5-inch cubes and set them aside.
Wash and chop the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, red onion, and zucchini into bite-sized pieces, similar in size to the chicken cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken into the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight for more flavor).
While the chicken marinates, soak the wooden skewers in water for 20 to 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini onto the soaked skewers, alternating ingredients for a colorful presentation.
Place the kabobs on the hot grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches 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 grilled chicken kabobs warm, with your choice of sides like rice, a fresh salad, or flatbread.
