Ingredients

• 4 pieces (boneless, skinless) chicken breasts
• 0.25 cup lemon juice
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 3 cloves (minced) garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon (chopped) fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon (chopped) fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 pieces (any color, cut into 1-inch pieces) bell peppers
• 1 piece (cut into large chunks) red onion
• 2 pieces (sliced into 1/2-inch rounds) zucchini
• 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into 1.5-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 4

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Step 5

While the chicken marinates, prepare the vegetables by cutting the bell peppers, red onions, and zucchini into bite-sized pieces.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Assemble the kabobs by threading alternating pieces of marinated chicken, bell peppers, red onions, and zucchini onto the skewers.

Step 8

Place the kabobs on the preheated grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes to ensure even cooking. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, couscous, or a fresh salad.
