Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
• 1/4 cup Tuscan Infused Olive Oil Blend
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 medium zucchini sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
• 1 red bell pepper cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 yellow bell pepper cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 small red onion cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 lemon cut into wedges for grilling
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for serving

Equipment

• 1 Grill Gas or charcoal grill heated to medium-high
• 8 Skewers Metal skewers or soaked wooden skewers
• 1 Large mixing bowl For marinating the chicken
• 1 Tongs For turning skewers safely
• 1 Instant-read thermometer To confirm chicken reaches 165°F

Method

 

Instructions

1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the Tuscan Infused Olive Oil Blend, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper.
3. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss until fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F, and clean and oil the grates.
5. Thread the marinated chicken, zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, and lemon wedges onto skewers, alternating ingredients and leaving a little space between pieces for even heat circulation.
6. Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning every 3 minutes, until the chicken is lightly charred and reaches 165°F in the thickest pieces.
7. Transfer the skewers to a platter and rest for 5 minutes so the juices settle.
8. Squeeze the grilled lemon wedges over the skewers, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

Chicken thighs can be used instead of chicken breasts; keep the pieces the same size and cook to 165°F. For the best texture, marinate the chicken for 30 minutes to 2 hours rather than overnight.

Recipe Tips

Cut the chicken into even 1 1/2-inch pieces so every skewer cooks at the same pace. If you use wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling so they do not scorch too quickly.

Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, but avoid going much past 2 hours because the lemon juice can start to change the texture of the meat.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these skewers over lemon rice, couscous, or a simple green salad with extra grilled vegetables on the side. They are also great tucked into warm pita with a spoonful of cucumber-yogurt sauce.

Storage

Store leftover chicken and vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium-low heat or enjoy chilled over salad for an easy next-day lunch.

Variations

Swap chicken breast for boneless chicken thighs if you want a richer, juicier skewer. You can also add mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, or yellow squash, keeping the pieces similar in size so everything grills evenly.
