– 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
– 1 green bell pepper, cut into chunks
– 1 zucchini, sliced into coins
– 1 medium red onion, cut into chunks
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Juice and zest of 1 lemon
– Juice and zest of 1 orange
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Wooden or metal skewers


Instructions

Crafting the perfect Citrus Herb Chicken and Veggie Kabobs is a simple process that involves marinating and grilling. Follow these steps for incredible results:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Whisk until blended.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken cubes in the marinade. Ensure they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20-30 minutes.
3. Prepare the Veggies: While the chicken is marinating, chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are similar in size for even cooking.
4. Soak Skewers (if using wooden skewers): If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
5. Assemble the Kabobs: Thread the marinated chicken and assorted vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between chicken and veggies for a colorful presentation.
6. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, preheat it on the stove over medium-high heat.
7. Grill the Kabobs: Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
8. Check Doneness: Ensure that the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) using a meat thermometer.
9. Rest Before Serving: Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. This helps the juices redistribute.
10. Garnish (optional): Sprinkle with fresh herbs or additional lemon zest for an appealing touch.

By following these simple steps, you will have delicious kabobs that are sure to impress!
