Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breasts
• 6 slices prosciutto
• 1 piece red bell pepper
• 1 piece zucchini
• 1 piece red onion
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 pieces wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts into 1.5-inch cubes. You should end up with approximately 16 pieces.

Step 3

Cut each prosciutto slice in half lengthwise. Wrap each piece of chicken with one strip of prosciutto.

Step 4

Slice the red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into 1.5-inch pieces to match the size of the chicken cubes.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 6

Thread the skewers. Alternate between wrapped chicken cubes, bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion until the skewer is filled, leaving a small amount of space at each end.

Step 7

Brush the marinade generously onto all sides of the skewered ingredients.

Step 8

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Grill the kabobs for 12–15 minutes, turning every 3–4 minutes to ensure even cooking. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and has a slightly charred appearance.

Step 10

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2–3 minutes.

Step 11

Serve the kabobs warm with your choice of side dishes, such as a fresh salad, rice pilaf, or roasted potatoes.
