Ingredients

• 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 3 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 2 Sweet bell peppers, cubed
• 1 Red onion, cubed
• 1 pint Cherry tomatoes
• 8 Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 4

While the chicken is marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Step 5

Preheat an outdoor grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Thread the marinated chicken cubes, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes onto the soaked skewers, alternating between chicken and vegetables.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure even cooking, until the chicken is fully cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm as is, or with a side of fresh salad or quinoa for a complete meal.
