Ingredients

  • 600 grams boneless chicken breast
  • 1 medium red bell pepper
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper
  • 1 medium red onion
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 60 ml olive oil
  • 30 ml lemon juice
  • 3 minced garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 pieces wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into 2.5 cm (1 inch) cubes and set aside.

Step 3

Core and slice the red and yellow bell peppers into 2.5 cm (1 inch) pieces.

Step 4

Peel the red onion and cut it into quarters, then separate each layer to get bite-sized pieces.

Step 5

Slice the zucchini into 0.5 cm (1/4 inch) thick rounds.

Step 6

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, thyme leaves, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse. For best results, marinate for 2-3 hours.

Step 9

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 10

Thread the marinated chicken and vegetable pieces alternately onto the prepared skewers.

Step 11

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.

Step 12

Remove from the grill and let the skewers rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 13

Serve the chicken brochettes warm with your favorite sides.
