Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Slice the red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into similar-sized chunks for skewering.
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the tandoori marinade by combining the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, garam masala, chili powder, and salt.
Add the chicken pieces and shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for more flavor.
Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat and lightly coat the grates or broiler pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Thread the marinated chicken, shrimp, and vegetables onto the pre-soaked wooden skewers, alternating ingredients for an even mix.
Grill the skewers for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 75°C or 165°F) and the shrimp are pink and opaque.
Transfer the skewers to a serving platter and garnish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.
Serve hot with a side of fresh salad, mint yogurt sauce, or whole-grain naan for a complete low-fat meal.
