Grilled Lemon-Cilantro Chicken and Veggie Skewers

By: completelydelicious.com
Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs (ca. 700 g) boneless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into chunks
  • 1 bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 6–8 cremini, baby bella or button mushrooms, whole or halved
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Metal or soaked wooden skewers

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Ingredients:
    Trim any excess fat from the chicken and chop all veggies into uniform 1-inch pieces.
  2. Make the Marinade:
    In a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice, soy sauce, olive oil, cilantro, garlic, salt and pepper.
  3. Marinate:
    Add the chicken and veggies to the marinade and toss to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours).
  4. Assemble Skewers:
    Thread the marinated chicken and veggies onto skewers, alternating pieces for even cooking and a colorful look.
  5. Grill:
    Preheat grill to medium-high. Place skewers directly on the grill and cook for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred. Adjust heat as needed.
  6. Serve:
    Serve hot with a side of steamed rice, quinoa, or a fresh summer salad.

Tip:

This recipe is easy to customise—swap the chicken for steak or shrimp, and use your favorite seasonal veggies!

Enjoy! 🍢
