• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
• 12 Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast and lamb leg into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.

Step 3

Chop red bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into similarly-sized pieces.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, oregano, thyme, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 5

In two separate bowls, coat the chicken and lamb with half of the marinade each. Mix well to ensure even coating.

Step 6

Thread the skewers by alternately adding pieces of chicken, lamb, red bell pepper, zucchini, and onion.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and vegetables are tender, ensuring nice grill marks are achieved.

Step 9

Sprinkle the cooked kebabs with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot, alongside a fresh Mediterranean salad or whole-grain side dish of your choice.
