Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 300 grams, cubed
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Dried thyme - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Bell peppers - 1 medium, cubed
• Red onion - 1 small, cubed
• Zucchini - 1 small, sliced into rounds
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Add the cubed chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
3. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables by cutting the bell pepper, red onion, and zucchini into appropriate sizes for skewering.
4. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
5. Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables alternately onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
6. Once the grill is hot, place the skewers on it and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
7. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
