Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cups lemon juice
• 0.25 cups olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 zucchini, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
• 1 red onion, cut into wedges
• 8 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are completely coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours for best flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or prepare a grill pan on the stovetop.

Step 5

While the grill is heating, thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating between the chicken and vegetables.

Step 6

Place the kabobs on the preheated grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure even cooking and grill marks. The chicken should be cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve the Lemon Chicken Kabobs warm with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, salad, or pita bread.
