Directions

Step 1

Cut chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Slice the red bell pepper and zucchini into chunks roughly the same size as the chicken cubes.

Step 3

Cut the red onion into similar-sized pieces, separating the layers slightly to match the size of other ingredients.

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt.

Step 5

Add the chicken cubes to the bowl, ensuring they are well coated with the marinade.

Step 6

Mix in the bell pepper, zucchini, and onion pieces, tossing everything together to ensure the vegetables also get a light coat of marinade.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes. For more flavor, you can marinate for up to 2 hours.

Step 8

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 9

Thread marinated chicken, bell pepper, zucchini, and onion pieces onto skewers, alternating between different ingredients for a colorful presentation.

Step 10

Place the skewers on the grill, cooking each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

Step 11

Once done, remove skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve skewers warm, paired with your choice of sides such as a fresh salad or grilled corn.
