Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large zucchini
- 1 medium red onion
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Cut chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.
Slice the red bell pepper and zucchini into chunks roughly the same size as the chicken cubes.
Cut the red onion into similar-sized pieces, separating the layers slightly to match the size of other ingredients.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt.
Add the chicken cubes to the bowl, ensuring they are well coated with the marinade.
Mix in the bell pepper, zucchini, and onion pieces, tossing everything together to ensure the vegetables also get a light coat of marinade.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes. For more flavor, you can marinate for up to 2 hours.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread marinated chicken, bell pepper, zucchini, and onion pieces onto skewers, alternating between different ingredients for a colorful presentation.
Place the skewers on the grill, cooking each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Once done, remove skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve skewers warm, paired with your choice of sides such as a fresh salad or grilled corn.
