Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients
Wash and dry the vegetables. Cut the bell peppers into chunks, slice the zucchini and cut the red onion into chunks. Trim and cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Place everything in separate bowls for easy assembly.
Tip: Keep the vegetable pieces similar in size for even cooking.
Preheat the Grill or Oven
If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. For oven cooking, preheat to 200°C and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Tip: Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes if using, to prevent burning.
Assemble the Skewers
Thread the chicken, bell peppers, zucchini and red onion alternately onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
Tip: Start and end each skewer with a vegetable piece for secure assembly.
Season the Skewers
Drizzle the assembled skewers with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper and any preferred spices such as paprika or garlic powder.
Tip: Rub the seasoning evenly for better flavor distribution.
Cook the Skewers
If grilling, place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 8-10 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked and vegetables are tender. For oven cooking, arrange the skewers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Tip: Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 75°C.
Serve and Enjoy
Remove the skewers from the grill or oven and let them rest for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or side dish.
