Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs chicken breast
• 0.25 cups lemon juice
• 0.25 cups olive oil
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 3 pieces bell peppers
• 1 pieces red onion
• 1 pieces zucchini
• 10 pieces wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

Step 4

While the chicken is marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water for 15-20 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Step 5

Wash and cut the bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into 1-inch pieces.

Step 6

Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini onto the soaked skewers, alternating the ingredients for visual appeal and even cooking.

Step 7

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes to ensure even cooking. The chicken should be fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the kabobs warm with your favorite side dish, such as rice, salad, or pita bread.
