Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 2 bell peppers, assorted colors
• 1 zucchini
• 12 wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place in a large bowl.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 4

Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 5

Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables: halve cherry tomatoes, cut bell peppers into 1-inch pieces, and slice zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

Step 6

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, and zucchini onto the soaked skewers, alternating between chicken and vegetables.

Step 8

Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are charred, and tender.

Step 9

Serve hot with a side of fresh salad or cauliflower rice, and enjoy this keto-friendly meal!
