Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    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

  1. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

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

  2. 4

    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.

  3. 5

    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.

  4. 6

    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.
