Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 Red bell pepper, chopped in chunks
- 1 Zucchini, sliced
- 1 Red onion, chopped in chunks
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 8 Skewers
Instructions
Cut the boneless skinless chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine low-sodium soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
While the chicken marinates, soak the skewers in water if they are wooden to prevent them from burning during grilling.
Prepare the vegetables by chopping the red bell pepper and red onion into chunks, and slicing the zucchini. Keep the cherry tomatoes whole.
Once the chicken has marinated, begin assembling the skewers by alternating pieces of marinated chicken, red bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Grill the skewers for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking, until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender but not overcooked.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled skewers warm, either on their own or alongside a fresh green salad.
