Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 2 large bell pepper
- 1 large red onion
- 1 large zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 8 wooden skewers
Instructions
Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Dice the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Cut the bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into similar-sized chunks, about 1-inch each.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, black pepper, and salt to create a marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Start assembling the skewers by alternating pieces of chicken, bell pepper, onion, and zucchini onto each skewer.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 15 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure even cooking, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
Remove the skewers from the grill and serve hot.
