Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 large, minced Garlic cloves
- 1.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley

- 1 large, cut into 1-inch pieces Red bell pepper
- 1 medium, cut into 1-inch slices Zucchini

Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and toss to coat evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables by cutting the red onion, red bell pepper, and zucchini into 1-inch pieces.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken, red onion, red bell pepper, and zucchini onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating between chicken and vegetables.
Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has charred marks.
Transfer the skewers to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve hot and enjoy your Whole30 Mediterranean Grilled Chicken Skewers.
