Ingredients:
- 2 large chicken breasts, cut into chunks
- 2 bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), cut into chunks
- 1 large red onion, cut into chunks
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 3 tbsp olive oil

- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano

- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, mix olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Add the chicken chunks to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the chicken and vegetable pieces onto the skewers, alternating between the chicken and different vegetables for a colorful presentation.

- Serve immediately with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Helpful Tips:
If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
Feel free to experiment with different vegetables such as mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, or even pineapple chunks for a sweet twist.
Storage Instructions:
These skewers are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the grill.
Ingredient Substitutions:
Substitute tofu or extra vegetables if you’re looking for a vegetarian option. You can also use turkey or pork instead of chicken if preferred.
Suggested Pairings:
These skewers pair wonderfully with a tangy coleslaw, a fresh green salad, and a chilled bottle of lemonade. For a more indulgent meal, add some grilled corn on the cob and a side of creamy mashed potatoes.
