Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large green bell pepper
• 1 large red onion
• 2 medium zucchini
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 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 chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Cut the red and green bell peppers, red onion, and zucchinis into 1-inch pieces, similar in size to the chicken cubes.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 5

Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and vegetables. Toss everything together until well coated. Allow the mixture to marinate, covered, in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto the soaked skewers, alternating between chicken and vegetables.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The chicken should have an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve the grilled chicken kabobs with your choice of side, such as rice, salad, or pita bread.
