Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless chicken thighs
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large zucchini
- 1 medium red onion
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Cut the boneless chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Chop the red bell pepper and zucchini into 1-inch pieces, and cut the red onion into small wedges.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground black pepper, paprika, dried oregano, and salt to create the marinade.
Add the cubed chicken to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken, red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion alternately onto the skewers.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the skewers with your choice of side dishes, such as rice, salad, or pita bread.
