Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless chicken thighs
• 1 pound boneless lamb shoulder
• 0.5 cup olive oil
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
• 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
• 1 zucchini, sliced
• 1 red onion, cut into chunks
• 10 wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken thighs and lamb shoulder into 1.5-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the meat cubes and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 4

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Step 5

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Thread the meat cubes onto the skewers, alternating with chunks of red and yellow bell pepper, zucchini slices, and red onion chunks.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 10 minutes per side, or until the meat is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve the skewers warm, optionally garnished with additional chopped fresh parsley.
