Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken breast
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 small garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces
• 1 medium yellow bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces
• 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
• 20 pieces cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 8 pieces wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 4

Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes, making sure they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 5

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Once marinated, thread the chicken, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and zucchini alternately onto the soaked skewers.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve the brochettes warm with a side of your choice, such as a fresh green salad or couscous for a complete Mediterranean meal.
