Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
- 1 medium, diced yellow bell pepper
- 1 large, diced red onion
- 1 medium, sliced zucchini
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.
Add the diced red and yellow bell peppers, red onion, and sliced zucchini to the bowl with the chicken.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the chicken and vegetables, and toss to coat everything evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight, for more flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating each piece of chicken with a piece of vegetable.
Place the kebabs on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Garnish the kebabs with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of whole grain pita or couscous for a complete Mediterranean diet meal.
