Marinade

1 cup olive oil

4 tbs Garlic, minced

2 tsp Ground cumin

2 tsp Ground coriander

2 tsp Watkins paprika

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1 tsp black pepper

2 tbs ReaLemon lemon juice

Kebab Ingredients

2 pieces bell peppers, chopped

1 piece red onion, quartered

1 piece zucchini, sliced

8 pieces metal skewers

Method

Marinade Preparation

Prepare the Marinade

In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Whisk together until well combined.

Marinate the Chicken

Add the cubed chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight for maximum flavor.

Kebab Assembly and Cooking

Prepare the Vegetables

While the chicken is marinating, chop the bell peppers, quarter the red onion, and slice the zucchini. Set aside.

Assemble the Kebabs

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Once the chicken has marinated, thread the chicken, bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini onto the skewers, alternating between ingredients.

Cook the Kebabs

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.

Serve

Remove kebabs from the grill and let rest for a few minutes. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauces or alongside pita bread.
