Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 medium Yellow squash
- 1 medium Red onion
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 8 units Wooden skewers
Instructions
1. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
2. Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
3. Slice the red bell pepper, zucchini, and yellow squash into 1-inch pieces. Cut the red onion into wedges.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, ground black pepper, and paprika to create the marinade.
5. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat thoroughly. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
6. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
7. Thread the marinated chicken, alternating with the sliced vegetables and cherry tomatoes onto the soaked skewers.
8. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender and lightly charred.
9. Remove from the grill and let the skewers rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
10. Serve the grilled meat skewers warm as part of a balanced meal with your choice of side.
