Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless chicken thighs
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large zucchini
• 1 medium red onion
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Cut the boneless chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

Chop the red bell pepper and zucchini into 1-inch pieces, and cut the red onion into small wedges.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground black pepper, paprika, dried oregano, and salt to create the marinade.

Step 4

Add the cubed chicken to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Step 5

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

Step 6

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken, red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion alternately onto the skewers.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve the skewers with your choice of side dishes, such as rice, salad, or pita bread.
