Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken breast
• 1 Red bell pepper
• 1 Zucchini
• 1 medium Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 8 Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Begin by cutting the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 3

Chop the red bell pepper and zucchini into 1-inch pieces, and cut the red onion into similar-sized wedges.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss well to coat. Allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Thread the chicken cubes, bell pepper pieces, zucchini slices, and red onion wedges alternately onto the wooden skewers.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Enjoy your heart-healthy savory grilled meat skewers with a side of whole-grain rice or salad for a complete meal.
