Instructions

Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C)
Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes. Wash and slice vegetables into 1/2-inch pieces. Soak wooden or bamboo skewers if using
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, oregano, and salt to create a marinade
Add chicken to the bowl and toss until evenly coated
Assemble skewers by alternating chicken and vegetables, leaving 1/4 inch of space between pieces for even airflow
Place skewers on a baking rack lined with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked and vegetables are tender
Optional: broil for 2-3 minutes for a nice char, careful not to burn

Notes

For even cooking, uniform cutting of chicken and vegetables is essential
Aluminum foil lining ensures easy cleanup
Oven broiling is optional but adds a charred finish
Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes (or refrigerate overnight for deeper flavor)
