Ingredients
  

For the Kabobs
  • 1 pound Chicken Breasts Tender, protein-packed base; substitute with boneless thighs for richer flavor.
  • 2 cups Bell Peppers Adds sweetness and vibrant color; use your favorite variety like red, yellow, or green.
  • 1 cup Red Onion Provides a mild sharpness; yellow onion can be a sweeter alternative.
  • 1 medium Zucchini Moisture-rich and full of fiber; swap for mushrooms or cherry tomatoes if you prefer.
For the Marinade
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil A healthy fat that helps the marinade stick; avocado oil is a great substitute.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Brings bright acidity to balance the flavors; freshly squeezed juice works best.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest Enhances freshness; don't skip the zest for added aroma.
  • 2 cloves Minced Garlic Boosts flavor depth; can replace with garlic powder in a pinch.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Basil Essential herbs for that Mediterranean touch.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano Essential herbs for that Mediterranean touch.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme Essential herbs for that Mediterranean touch.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Key seasoning; adjust according to your taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Key seasoning; adjust according to your taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes Adds a dash of heat; omit for a milder kabob.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Tenderize the chicken by gently pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about ½ inch.
  2. Cut the chicken into 1.5-inch cubes and chop vegetables like bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into similar-sized pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, and dried herbs. Whisk until well blended.
  4. Add the cubed chicken and chopped vegetables to the marinade, stirring gently to coat evenly. Cover and marinate for at least 20 minutes.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F to 400°F.
  6. Thread the chicken and vegetable pieces onto skewers, alternating between chicken and vegetables.
  7. Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 5-10 minutes on each side until the chicken is browned and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  8. Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
