Cut the chicken breasts into 1.5-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Chop the red and green bell peppers and zucchini into similar 1.5-inch pieces. Slice the red onion into thick wedges.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken and vegetables, tossing until everything is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, up to overnight for best flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the chicken and vegetables alternately onto the skewers, pressing them tightly together but leaving a bit of space at each end.
Grill the kabobs on the preheated grill for about 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes to ensure all sides are evenly cooked and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the soy-free grilled chicken kabobs warm, optionally alongside a fresh salad or grilled corn on the cob.
