Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds chicken breast
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 whole red onion, large
• 2 whole zucchini, medium
• 2 whole bell peppers, red and yellow
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 12 pieces wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and mix well to ensure each piece is coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for more flavor.

Step 4

While the chicken is marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Step 5

Chop the red onion, zucchini, and bell peppers into 1-inch pieces to match the size of the chicken.

Step 6

Thread the chicken, vegetables, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers, alternating between chicken and vegetables.

Step 7

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
