Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 large bell peppers (red, yellow, green, or orange)
- 1 large red onion
- 2 medium zucchini
- 0.25 cups olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons chili flakes (optional for spice)
- 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
Wash the bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini. Cut them into similar 1-inch pieces to match the size of the chicken cubes.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and chili flakes (if using).
Pour the marinade over the cubed chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes, bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini alternately onto the skewers to create vibrant, colorful kabobs.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the kabobs on the preheated grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes to ensure even cooking and a nice char on all sides. Check that the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite sides such as rice, salad, or a refreshing tzatziki sauce.
