Cutting board
Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast cut into 1-inch cubes
2 medium zucchinis sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup fresh parsley finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh rosemary minced
1 tbsp fresh thyme minced
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp red pepper flakes optional
8 wooden skewers soaked in water for at least 30 minutes

Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, parsley, rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to create the herb marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the herb marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Thread the marinated chicken and zucchini slices alternately onto the soaked skewers.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and has a nice char, and the zucchini is tender.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.

Notes

If you prefer, you can replace the fresh herbs with 1 teaspoon each of dried parsley, rosemary, and thyme.

Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.

Marinating the chicken for longer will enhance the flavor; if time allows, marinate for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

If using a charcoal grill, the smokiness will add an extra layer of flavor to your skewers.
