Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 small garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
- 20 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 8 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes, making sure they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Once marinated, thread the chicken, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and zucchini alternately onto the soaked skewers.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the brochettes warm with a side of your choice, such as a fresh green salad or couscous for a complete Mediterranean meal.
