The Method

1
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
3
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
4
While the chicken marinates, prepare the vegetables. Toss the bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes with a tablespoon of olive oil, salt and pepper.
5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
6
Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers. Alternate with vegetables if desired.
7
Grill the chicken skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred. Internal temperature of chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
8
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
9
Serve the chicken skewers immediately. Drizzle with balsamic glaze, if desired.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.

Don't overcrowd the grill to ensure even cooking. Grill in batches if necessary.

Serve with a side of couscous or a simple salad for a complete meal.
