Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cups lemon juice
- 0.25 cups olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 zucchini, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 8 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are completely coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours for best flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or prepare a grill pan on the stovetop.
While the grill is heating, thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating between the chicken and vegetables.
Place the kabobs on the preheated grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure even cooking and grill marks. The chicken should be cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Lemon Chicken Kabobs warm with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, salad, or pita bread.
