Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds chicken breast
- 2 medium red bell pepper
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 large red onion
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 12 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Start by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Deseed and cut the red bell peppers into similar-sized 1-inch pieces.
Trim the ends of the zucchinis, slice them into thick rounds, about 1/2 inch thick each.
Peel and cut the red onion into 1-inch pieces, separating the layers into chunks that can easily be skewered.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the diced chicken and vegetables. Toss thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables alternately onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to allow even cooking.
Place the prepared kebabs on the preheated grill. Grill for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are nicely charred.
Remove from the grill and let the kebabs rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately on a platter.
