How to Make These Lemon Pepper Chicken Kebabs

First, you’ll whisk together the marinade ingredients, olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper. Place the chicken pieces in a gallon-size resealable bag, pour marinade over chicken the seal bag while pressing out excess air. Rub marinade over chicken and let marinate in refrigerator 1 – 2 hours.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinate then thread onto (water-soaked) wooden skewers or metal skewers, along with disks of zucchini squash and red onion pieces.

Grill kebabs until cooked through, turning once halfway through, about 5 minutes per side (center of chicken should register 165 degrees on an instant-read thermometer). Serve warm.
