Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 piece Red bell pepper
• 1 piece Yellow bell pepper
• 1 piece Zucchini
• 1 piece Red onion
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, about 1.5-inch pieces.

Step 2

Slice the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into similar-sized chunks for even cooking.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 4

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and mix well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 5

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 6

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between chicken, bell peppers, zucchini, and onion for an appealing color pattern.

Step 8

Grill the skewers for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C).

Step 9

Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the chicken kabobs warm with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside rice, salad, or flatbread.
