Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless skinless chicken breast
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 1 medium Yellow squash
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 medium Red onion
• 12 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.

Step 3

Chop the red and green bell peppers, yellow squash, zucchini, and red onion into roughly 1-inch pieces.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 5

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, tossing to coat well. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 6

Thread pieces of chicken, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, yellow squash, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes onto each skewer, alternating between vegetables and meat.

Step 7

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove from grill and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with a side of your choice, like brown rice or a fresh salad.
