Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Vegetables

    Chop bell peppers, red onion, zucchini into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and place them in a bowl.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Shrimp

    If using frozen shrimp, thaw them in cold water and pat dry before adding to the bowl with chicken.

Marinade

  1. 4

    Make the Marinade

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

  2. 5

    Marinate the Protein

    Pour the marinade over the chicken and shrimp, tossing to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Soak the Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Skewers

    Thread pieces of chicken, shrimp, bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and zucchini onto each skewer, alternating the ingredients.

Cooking

  1. 8

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 9

    Grill the Skewers

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and shrimp is opaque.
