• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 10

Thread the marinated chicken cubes, red bell pepper pieces, zucchini slices, and onion onto the skewers, alternating pieces.
