🍋 Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken & Veggie Skewers — Succulent Chicken and Garden-Fresh Vegetables Marinated in Zesty Lemon and Fragrant Herbs, Expertly Grilled for a Light, Flavorful, and Sophisticated Dish 🌿

Juicy, flavorful chicken paired with colorful grilled veggies — quick to make and perfect for a feel-good dinner. Whether you're meal-prepping or grilling with friends, this one's a total weeknight win! 👩‍🍳

🛒 Ingredients

Okay friend, here's what you’ll need. Nothing fancy — just wholesome, fresh ingredients that come together like magic! ✨

For the chicken marinade:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into chunks)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil – shop it here
  • Juice of 1 lemon – fresh is best 🍋
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced — a garlic press will make this SO easy
  • 1 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
  • Salt & pepper to taste

For the veggie skewers:

  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into rounds
  • 1 red onion, chopped into chunks
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (they get sooo juicy on the grill!)
  • Drizzle of olive oil, plus salt & pepper to taste

🔥 Directions

This part is super simple — no chef skills required. You’ve got this!

  1. Mix up your marinade in a bowl — just toss everything in and give it a whisk.
  2. Add your chicken chunks and coat them well. Let that goodness soak in for 30 minutes (or up to overnight if you plan ahead!).
  3. Meanwhile, prep your veggies and thread them onto skewers with the marinated chicken.
  4. Brush your veggies with olive oil and season them a little — just a touch of salt and pepper works wonders.
  5. Grill over medium heat for about 20–25 minutes, flipping once. No grill? No problem — pop them in the oven at 425°F (220°C) until they’re cooked through and golden.

✅ Why You'll Love It

  • Protein-packed and super satisfying, but won’t leave you feeling heavy
  • Colorful veggies = lots of fiber + antioxidants 🙌
  • Perfect for BBQs, meal prep, or just a dinner that feels fancy without the fuss
