Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

1/4 cup olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon lemon zest

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Zucchini and bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces (optional, for skewering)

Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions
 

Prepare Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, rosemary, thyme, parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper.

    Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken cubes to the bowl and toss well to coat evenly in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

      Soak Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.

        Assemble Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken onto the soaked skewers, alternating with pieces of zucchini and bell peppers if desired.

          Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

            Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

              Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired.
