Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 piece red bell pepper, cubed
- 1 piece yellow bell pepper, cubed
- 1 piece red onion, cubed
- 1 piece zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
- 10 pieces wooden or metal skewers
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Step 3
Pour the marinade over the chicken and toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Step 4
While the chicken marinates, soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning, or prepare metal skewers if using.
Step 5
Prepare the vegetables by chopping the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red onion, and zucchini into similarly sized pieces for even cooking.
Step 6
Once the chicken is marinated, thread chicken cubes, bell peppers, onion, and zucchini onto the skewers, alternating beef and vegetables for a colorful presentation.
Step 7
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Grill the kabobs for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and registers an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the chicken kabobs with your favorite side dishes such as rice, salad, or pita bread and enjoy!
