Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 large red onion
- 1 large zucchini
- 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 30 ml lemon juice
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 8 pieces metal or bamboo skewers
Directions
Step 1
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Step 2
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Step 3
Chop the red, green, and yellow bell peppers and red onion into similar-sized pieces as the chicken.
Step 4
Slice the zucchini into thick rounds to match the size of the other vegetables.
Step 5
In a large bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create the marinade.
Step 6
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat thoroughly. Allow marinating for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for better flavor penetration.
Step 7
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
Step 8
Thread pieces of chicken, bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini onto the skewers, alternating to create a colorful pattern.
Step 9
Grill the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is fully cooked and has char marks, and the vegetables are tender.
Step 10
Remove the shish kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 11
Serve the sugar-free chicken shish kebabs with a side salad or your favorite dipping sauce for a complete meal.
