Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Boneless chicken breast
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 medium Red onion
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Cut the boneless chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Chop the red bell pepper into 1-inch pieces. Similarly, slice the zucchini into thick rounds and the red onion into 1-inch segments.
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken cubes to the bowl with the marinade. Toss to ensure all pieces are thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
While the chicken is marinating, soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
After marination, thread chicken, red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating ingredients as you go.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are lightly charred.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the shish kebabs hot, optionally garnishing with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color.
