For the marinade

Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the boneless chicken breast into 1.5-inch cubes.
- Chop bell peppers, onion, zucchini, and prepare cherry tomatoes.
- In a zip-top bag, combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
- Add the chicken to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight.
Grilling
- Preheat the grill on medium-high for at least 10 minutes.
- Thread the marinated chicken and veggies onto skewers.
- Place the skewers on the grill, leaving enough space between them.
- Grill for 12-15 minutes, flipping every few minutes until the chicken is firm and not pink.
Notes
Try different marinades like Mexican or Mediterranean for varied flavors. Use enough acid to tenderize without making the chicken mushy. Only salt before cooking if you have time.
