Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces skinless boneless chicken breasts
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 8 pieces metal or wooden skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.
Chop the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, red onion, and zucchini into 1-inch pieces, and add them to the bowl with the chicken.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, oregano, basil, paprika, black pepper, and salt to make the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken and vegetables, and toss well to ensure they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables alternately onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char, with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious low-fat grilled chicken kabobs with a side of your choice.
