Ingredients

• 500 grams boneless skinless chicken breast
• 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
• 1 medium, diced yellow bell pepper
• 1 large, diced red onion
• 1 medium, sliced zucchini
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the diced red and yellow bell peppers, red onion, and sliced zucchini to the bowl with the chicken.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Pour the marinade over the chicken and vegetables, and toss to coat everything evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight, for more flavor.

Step 5

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 6

Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating each piece of chicken with a piece of vegetable.

Step 7

Place the kebabs on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Garnish the kebabs with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm with your choice of whole grain pita or couscous for a complete Mediterranean diet meal.
