Full of flavor, yet light in calories, these tasty, marinated Lemon and Garlic Chicken Kabobs (with veggies), are an EASY meal to BBQ or broil for dinner!
Cut the chicken breast into 3/4 inch chunks. Place in large bowl.
In separate bowl, combine lemon zest, garlic, flat leaf parsley salt and pepper. Add olive oil and stir well, to combine. Pour marinade over chicken chunks; mix well to fully coat chicken. Place chicken and marinade in a covered container or a large resealable plastic storage bag. Refrigerate 2-8 hours (the longer chicken marinates, the better the flavor!). When done marinating, divide and thread chicken pieces onto 4 long metal or wood skewers (remember to soak wood skewers for 30 minutes prior to using so they don't burn). Discard remaining marinade.
Mix the sauce for the veggies by combining juice of 1 lemon, olive oil, and minced red onion in small bowl. Cut mushrooms into quarters. Cut peppers into 1 inch thick slices. Thread veggie slices onto metal or wood skewers. Brush all sides of veggies with sauce.
If broiling in oven, place skewers on a wire rack, which is on top of a baking sheet (to catch juices which drip). Place on middle rack in oven. Broil for 10-12 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked through and golden brown, turning skewers over to other side halfway through cooking time. Keep an eye on the chicken to make sure it doesn't burn. Remove from broiler, when fully cooked through.
Remove chicken and veggie from skewers, transfer to plate, and serve with a side of rice, for a great meal. Enjoy!
Note: I minced red onion and added it to veggie sauce. However, if you wish, you may leave the onion out of the sauce, and instead slice it into large pieces and thread it onto the skewers with the other veggies. Both ways work well.
