Ingredients
  

Chicken Marinade
  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
Vegetables
  • 2 bell peppers (any color) cut into chunks
  • 1 red onion cut into chunks
  • 1 zucchini sliced into thick rounds (optional); optional
  • 1/2 cup Dale’s Seasoning Marinade

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, smoked paprika, pepper, and oregano. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
  2. In a separate bowl, toss bell peppers, onion, and zucchini with Dale’s Seasoning. Marinate in the refrigerator 30 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  3. If using wooden skewers, soak in water at least 30 minutes before threading.
  4. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  5. Thread marinated chicken and vegetables onto skewers, alternating pieces. Place on a wire rack set over a baking sheet, or directly on a foil-lined sheet pan sprayed with cooking spray.
  6. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until chicken is cooked through.
  7. For a slightly charred finish, broil on high 2 to 3 minutes at the end.

How to Know It's Done

  • Oven: 425 degrees F
  • Chicken is done at an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

Cook's Notes

  • Do not marinate the chicken longer than 2 hours; the lemon juice can make the exterior texture mealy if left too long.
