1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium red onion, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
8 to 10 metal skewers, or wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes.
Pat the chicken dry and cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes.
Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl until smooth.
Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables by cutting into 1 1/2-inch pieces.
Thread the vegetables and marinated chicken onto skewers, alternating for even cooking.
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Grill the kabobs, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and veggies are tender-charred, 10 to 12 minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Marinate longer for more flavor (up to overnight).
Adjust grill heat to avoid burning vegetables.
Use an instant-read thermometer to confirm chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Leftover marinade can be brushed on during grilling for extra basting.
