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
Instructions:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Build your skewers: Drain and discard the used marinades. Thread chicken and veggies onto skewers, alternating pieces for a colorful mix.
  4. 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.
