Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken breast
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Green bell pepper
• 1 large Red onion
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 3 large Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 8 pieces 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 chicken breast into 1-inch cubes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Dice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion into 1-inch pieces. Slice the zucchini into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Add all vegetables to the bowl with the chicken.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano to make the marinade.

Step 5

Pour the marinade over the chicken and vegetables. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 2-3 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 6

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates.

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto the soaked skewers, alternating between the different ingredients to create colorful kebabs.

Step 8

Place kebabs on the grill, and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has good grill marks.

Step 9

Serve hot with your choice of side dishes.
