If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
Cut the chicken breast into 2.5 cm (1 inch) cubes and set aside.
Core and slice the red and yellow bell peppers into 2.5 cm (1 inch) pieces.
Peel the red onion and cut it into quarters, then separate each layer to get bite-sized pieces.
Slice the zucchini into 0.5 cm (1/4 inch) thick rounds.
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, thyme leaves, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and stir until well coated. Add the bell peppers, onion, and zucchini, tossing everything to coat evenly with the marinade.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse. For best results, marinate for 2-3 hours.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken and vegetable pieces alternately onto the prepared skewers.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender and lightly charred.
Remove from the grill and let the skewers rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the chicken brochettes warm with your favorite sides.
