Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breasts boneless and skinless, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red onion cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 red bell pepper cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 yellow bell pepper cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 medium zucchini cut into 1-inch slices
Marinade
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped

- In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, parsley, dill, lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper.

- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the chicken, onion, bell peppers, and zucchini onto the skewers, alternating with ingredients as you go.

Notes
- Soak Those Skewers: Don't forget to soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This prevents them from burning.
- Veggie Variations: Feel free to substitute or add different vegetables based on your preferences or what's in season.
- Marinating Time: For maximum flavor, the chicken can be marinated up to 24 hours. But avoid going beyond this if your marinade has an acidic ingredient (like lemon) to prevent the chicken from toughening.
- No Grill, No Problem: If you don't have a grill, these kebabs can be cooked in the oven or on a stovetop grill pan. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
- Leftovers: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated on the grill, stovetop, or microwave.
