Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds chicken breast, cut into 1-1 1/2 inch pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 medium summer squash/zucchini, sliced (460 grams)
2 medium bell peppers, roughly chopped (380 grams)
1/2 large onion, roughly chopped (165 grams)
3 tablespoons lemon juice, divided
1 tablespoon dried oregano, divided
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 tablespoon marjoram
salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Marinate your chicken. Dice chicken into 1-1 1/2 inch pieces and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/2 tablespoon dried oregano, garlic powder, marjoram, and salt and pepper in a plastic bag or glass container to fully coat chicken. Let it marinate for 1-2 hours. Be careful not to over-marinate it as you don’t want the chicken to break down from the lemon juice.
Prep your vegetables. When the chicken is almost done marinating, chop squash, peppers, and onion and toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 tablespoon oregano, and salt and pepper in a large bowl.
Light grill. Heat grill over medium-high heat.
Assemble kabobs. While the grill heats up, thread the chicken pieces and chopped veggies through 8 metal skewers. Alternate with veggies and chicken by leaving a small space between ingredients so they can cook evenly. There is no right or wrong way to do it, I like to alternate the meat with different veggies to make it look pretty.
Grill. Grill chicken kabobs for 10-15 minutes, flipping every few minutes until chicken is cooked through and veggies get a little crispy.
Enjoy! Serve with your favorite dip and sides and enjoy!

Notes

This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for a crowd!

You can use wooden skewers, just make sure you soak them for 20 minutes so they don't light on fire when grilling.
