Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breast into 1-1.5 inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground black pepper, dried oregano, and paprika to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables: Cut the red and green bell peppers into 1-1.5 inch squares, peel and cut the red onion into wedges, and keep the cherry tomatoes whole.
Take the marinated chicken out of the refrigerator and, starting with a vegetable, thread the chicken and vegetables alternately onto the soaked skewers.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the kebabs on the grill and cook for approximately 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred.
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the low sodium grilled chicken kebabs with your choice of side, such as a fresh salad or whole-grain rice.
