Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 1 large Red onion
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Dice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion into 1-inch pieces. Slice the zucchini into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Add all vegetables to the bowl with the chicken.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano to make the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken and vegetables. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 2-3 hours for deeper flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates.
Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto the soaked skewers, alternating between the different ingredients to create colorful kebabs.
Place kebabs on the grill, and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has good grill marks.
Serve hot with your choice of side dishes.
