For Cooking

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Cut the chicken breast into 2-inch cubes and set aside. Chop the bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, and halve the cherry tomatoes.

  2. 2

    Soak Skewers

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

Marinating

  1. 3

    Make the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.

  2. 4

    Marinate Chicken

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

Assembling and Cooking

  1. 5

    Assemble Skewers

    Once marinated, thread the chicken, bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes onto the soaked skewers, alternating ingredients for a colorful presentation.

  2. 6

    Cook the Skewers

    Preheat a 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 cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot as is or with a side of your favorite dipping sauce.
