Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless chicken breasts
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 1 large Red onion
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 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 into 1-inch cubes. Place in a large mixing bowl.
Cut the red bell pepper and zucchini into similarly sized 1-inch pieces. Chop the red onion into chunks, similar in size to the other vegetables.
In a separate bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, chopped parsley, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to coat evenly, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for greater flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between different types of vegetables and chicken pieces.
Grill the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred and tender.
Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the skewers warm, either directly from the skewers or by sliding the meat and vegetables off into a serving dish.
