Instructions

Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes.
Toss with lemon zest, garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano in a bowl.
Add lemon juice and olive oil to marinade; stir until chicken is evenly coated.
Refrigerate sealed for 20 minutes to 2 hours.
Place chicken cubes on skewers, spacing 1/2 for even heat.
Alternate proteins with onion, zucchini, and bell pepper segments.
Layer extra olive oil on vegetables to prevent charring.
Preheat grill to 400°F; oil grates with paper towel.
Place kabobs directly on grill; rotate every 45 seconds for even sear.
Close lid and cook 8-10 minutes total for medium doneness.
Rest on plate 5 minutes before serving to retain juices.

Notes

For even cooking, soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling. Adjust vegetable cuts to match the chicken’s cooking speed. Use kitchen twine or metal skewers if necessary. For a vegetarian option, replace chicken with tofu or chickpeas.
