Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken breast
• 2 medium Red bell pepper
• 2 medium Yellow bell pepper
• 1 large Red onion
• 2 medium Zucchini
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional garnish)
• 8 pieces Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts into 1.5-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Cut the red bell peppers, yellow bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into 1.5-inch pieces and set aside.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic cloves, lemon juice, ground black pepper, salt, and paprika.

Step 5

Pour half of the marinade over the chicken cubes and stir well to coat. Cover the bowl and allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes (or up to 4 hours for more flavor). Reserve the other half of the marinade for basting during grilling.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F).

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken cubes, bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating each ingredient for a colorful and balanced skewer.

Step 8

Once the grill is hot, place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F.

Step 9

Brush the reserved marinade onto the kebabs during the last few minutes of grilling for added flavor and caramelization.

Step 10

Remove the skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.

Step 11

Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness before serving.

Step 12

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, salad, or pita bread.
