Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless chicken breast
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium zucchini, cut into 1-inch slices
- 1 medium onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 8 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
Cut the boneless chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and toss to coat them evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to overnight for deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked skewers, alternating with pieces of red bell pepper, zucchini, and onion for each skewer.
Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the skewers hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
