Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless chicken breasts
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 2 medium Zucchini
• 1 large Red onion
• 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 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.

Step 2

Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes. Place in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Cut the red bell pepper and zucchini into similarly sized 1-inch pieces. Chop the red onion into chunks, similar in size to the other vegetables.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, chopped parsley, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Pour the marinade over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to coat evenly, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for greater flavor.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between different types of vegetables and chicken pieces.

Step 8

Grill the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred and tender.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve the skewers warm, either directly from the skewers or by sliding the meat and vegetables off into a serving dish.
