Ingredients

For the Chicken and Marinade:

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Kabobs:

1 red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
1 green bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
1 yellow bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large red onion cut into chunks
1 zucchini sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
10-12 cherry tomatoes
Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Add the chicken and toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Cut the bell peppers and red onion into 1-inch pieces. Slice the zucchini into ½-inch rounds.
Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers, alternating the ingredients.
Grill the kabobs for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove from the grill and serve immediately.

Notes

Chicken: Using boneless, skinless chicken breasts ensures quick cooking and easy eating. Thighs can be used for more moisture and flavor but may require slightly longer grilling.

Skewer Tips: If using wooden skewers, soaking them in water prevents burning. Metal skewers are a reusable alternative that conducts heat, potentially speeding up the cooking process.

Grill: Keeping the grill at a medium-high heat allows for a good sear on the outside of the chicken while cooking it through without burning. Turn the kabobs regularly for even cooking.
