Ingredients

• 500 grams boneless chicken breast
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large green bell pepper
• 1 large red onion
• 1 large zucchini
• 60 ml olive oil
• 30 ml lemon juice
• 3 garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 12 wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Step 2

Cut the boneless chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 3

Dice the red and green bell peppers into similar 1-inch pieces.

Step 4

Cut the red onion and zucchini into chunks approximately the same size as the chicken and peppers.

Step 5

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 6

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, stirring well until all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

Step 7

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 8

Thread chicken cubes onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of bell pepper, onion, and zucchini.

Step 9

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred.

Step 10

Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve the grilled kebabs hot, paired with your favorite dipping sauce or side dish.
