Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breast
- 2 red bell pepper
- 2 medium zucchini
- 8 button mushrooms
- 0.5 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 0.5 cup, chopped fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh oregano
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Chop the red bell peppers and zucchini into 1-inch pieces.
Prepare the herb marinade by whisking together olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, basil, oregano, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and mix well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken, red bell pepper, zucchini, and button mushrooms alternately onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.
Serve the skewers hot, garnished with any remaining fresh herbs if desired.
