Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken & Zucchini Skewers

• Chicken breast

  8.8 oz
• Zucchini

  2 medium
• Lemon

  1 whole
• Olive oil

  2 tablespoons
• Garlic

  2 cloves
• Dried oregano

  1 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley

  2 tablespoons
• Salt

  0.5 teaspoon
• Black pepper

  0.3 teaspoon

All Steps

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the juice and zest from the lemon, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

2. 2

   Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes. Slice the zucchini into 1/2-inch thick rounds or half-moons.

3. 3

   Add the chicken cubes and zucchini slices to the marinade, tossing well to ensure all pieces are coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.

4. 4

   If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat your outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

5. 5

   Thread the marinated chicken and zucchini alternately onto the skewers.

6. 6

   Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C) and the zucchini is tender-crisp with visible grill marks.

7. 7

   Remove from heat and serve immediately.
