Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 ½-inch chunks
- 3 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced into 1 ½-inch pieces
- 3 medium onions, cut into wedges
- 12 cherry tomatoes
- Mix the marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, lemon zest, salt, sugar, oregano, and pepper. Set aside 1/4 cup for basting later.
- Marinate the chicken & veggies:
- Place chicken in one bowl and toss with half of the marinade.
- In another bowl, add the zucchini, onions, and tomatoes with the remaining marinade.
- Cover both bowls and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you have the time.
- Build your skewers: Drain and discard the used marinades. Thread chicken and veggies onto skewers, alternating pieces for a colorful mix.
- Fire up the grill: Grill over medium heat, covered, for about 6 minutes per side—or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Baste occasionally with the reserved marinade for extra flavor.
