Ingredients

• 600 grams chicken breast
• 60 ml olive oil
• 45 ml lemon juice
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium red onion
• 1 medium zucchini
• 200 grams cherry tomatoes
• 12 pieces wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, chopped fresh rosemary, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and place them in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.

Step 4

Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and massage gently to coat all pieces. Refrigerate and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best results.

Step 5

While the chicken marinates, prepare the vegetables by cutting the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion into 1-inch pieces. Slice the zucchini into 1/2-inch thick rounds.

Step 6

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are lightly charred.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve the skewers warm as a main dish, paired with a side of couscous or a fresh green salad for a complete Mediterranean meal.
