Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless skinless chicken breast
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Green bell pepper
• 1 medium Red onion
• 250 grams Cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 12 pieces Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Slice the red and green bell peppers into 1-inch squares. Likewise, slice the zucchini into thick rounds. Roughly chop the red onion into large pieces. Keep the cherry tomatoes whole.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and salt.

Step 5

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss well to coat. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes alternately onto the soaked skewers. Ensure an even distribution for balanced flavor.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char on the edges, and vegetables are tender.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove from the grill and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your heart-healthy grilled kebabs.
