Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 1 medium Red onion
- 250 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 12 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Cut the boneless skinless chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Slice the red and green bell peppers into 1-inch squares. Likewise, slice the zucchini into thick rounds. Roughly chop the red onion into large pieces. Keep the cherry tomatoes whole.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and salt.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss well to coat. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes alternately onto the soaked skewers. Ensure an even distribution for balanced flavor.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char on the edges, and vegetables are tender.
Once cooked, remove from the grill and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve hot and enjoy your heart-healthy grilled kebabs.
