Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar (or honey)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or dried oregano)
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 ¼ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces)
2 small or 1 medium zucchini (sliced into ½-inch thick rounds)
1 red bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)
1 yellow bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)
1 small red or yellow onion (cut into 1-inch chunks with a few layers still together)
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in a dish of warm water for at least 20 minutes.
  • Combine the chicken marinade ingredients in a zip-top bag or dish: olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, Italian seasoning and black pepper. Squish to mix in the bag or whisk if using a dish.
  • Add the chicken pieces to the marinade. Make sure that all of the chicken is coated with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
  • Place the zucchini rounds and chopped bell peppers in a baking dish or bowl. Drizzle with the 1 ½ tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss gently to coat. Add the onion to the bowl last and mix in very gently so that the onion layers stay together as best as possible.
  • Put the chicken and vegetables on the skewers, dividing evenly between the 8 skewers and arranging the vegetable pieces in between the chicken pieces. Aim to put about 3 chicken pieces and 2-3 pieces of each vegetable per skewer. Discard all of the used marinade that held the chicken.
  • Grill over medium heat for 12-18 minutes, turning every few minutes to cook all sides evenly. Kabobs are done when chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165° F.
