Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 medium zucchini
• 2 medium red bell peppers
• 1 large red onion
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves fresh garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1-inch pieces.

Step 3

Slice the zucchini and red onion into thick rounds, and cut the red bell peppers into chunks similar in size to the chicken.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir the marinade until well blended.

Step 5

Add the chicken and vegetables to the bowl and toss to coat evenly in the marinade. Cover and let marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for a deeper flavor.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or set your oven broiler to high heat.

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating pieces for a colorful and evenly cooked presentation.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the preheated grill or under the broiler, cooking for 12-15 minutes and turning every 3-4 minutes to ensure even cooking. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables should be tender with grill marks.

Step 9

Remove the skewers from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Garlic Herb Infused Skewers alongside a fresh salad, rice, or grilled flatbread for a complete meal.
