Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tbsp)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tbsp honey or agave syrup
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: Wash all vegetables. Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes and slice bell peppers and zucchini.
- Create your marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Marinate the chicken: Add chicken pieces to the marinade. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (overnight for best results).
- Skewer the kabobs: Thread alternating pieces of marinated chicken and veggies onto skewers without packing too tightly.
- Grill the kabobs: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (400°F). Lightly oil grates before grilling kabobs for approximately 10-15 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
