📝 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1
    In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, basil, thyme, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  2. 2
    Add the cubed chicken to the marinade, tossing to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for best flavor.
  3. 3
    While chicken marinates, chop bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into uniform pieces. Add these vegetables (excluding cherry tomatoes) to the marinated chicken and toss to coat.
  4. 4
    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C) and lightly oil the grates. If using skewers, thread chicken and vegetables onto them, alternating pieces.
  5. 5
    Place skewers (or loose chicken and veggies in a grill basket) on the hot grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender-crisp with char marks (total 15-20 minutes).
  6. 6
    During the last 5 minutes of grilling, add the cherry tomatoes to the grill. Cook until just warmed through and slightly softened.
  7. 7
    Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving immediately.

💡 Notes

For oven baking, roast at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway. Feel free to substitute other firm vegetables like broccoli or mushrooms. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
