Ingredients:
- 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 zucchini, sliced into rounds
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions:
- Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat the Grill: If using a charcoal grill, light the coals and allow them to heat until covered with white ash. For a gas grill, preheat to medium-high heat.
- Assemble the Kabobs: Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, onion, and zucchini onto the skewers, alternating between each item.
- Grill the Kabobs: Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred.
- Serve: Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve warm with tzatziki sauce and a side salad.
