chicken breast

🥗Healthier: chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: chicken drumsticks

Thighs are juicier and drumsticks are often less expensive.

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes.

In a bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and mix well to coat.

Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

While the chicken marinates, chop zucchini, bell peppers, onion, and cherry tomatoes into similar-sized pieces.

Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between chicken and veggies.

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and has grill marks.

Remove skewers from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Serve with extra lemon wedges and fresh herbs if desired.
