Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, and bell pepper onto skewers, alternating between the chicken and vegetables.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
- Feel free to swap out the vegetables for your favorites, such as mushrooms or asparagus.
