Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 medium Red onion
- 0.25 cup Low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 8 Wooden skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Deseed and cut the red bell pepper into 1-inch pieces.
Slice the zucchini into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Cut the red onion into 1-inch pieces, separating the layers somewhat.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine low sodium soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, ground black pepper, and dried oregano to make a marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes, red bell pepper pieces, zucchini slices, and onion onto the skewers, alternating pieces.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve warm, enjoy as is or with a side of whole grain rice or fresh salad.
