Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 bell peppers (any color)
• 1 large red onion
• 2 medium zucchini
• 1 pint grape tomatoes
• 12 wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, and ground black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 4

Add the cubed chicken to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse into the chicken.

Step 5

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Cut the bell peppers and red onion into 1-inch squares. Slice the zucchini into thick half-moons.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, and grape tomatoes alternately onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece to ensure even cooking.

Step 8

Place the assembled kabobs on the preheated grill. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char on the outside. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve the kabobs alongside a fresh salad or whole grain rice for a complete meal.
