Instructions

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, dill, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
Thread the marinated chicken, red onion, bell peppers, and zucchini onto the skewers, alternating ingredients.
Grill the skewers on medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the grill, garnish with additional parsley if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the marinade.
If you don’t have wooden skewers, you can use metal skewers or grill the kebabs directly on the grill.
You can cook the kebabs in the oven at 450°F (232°C) for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through.
Feel free to swap out vegetables like mushrooms or cherry tomatoes for more variety.
For a different flavor profile, try adding pineapple chunks to the skewers for a sweet twist.
