Method
 

  1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  3. Add the cubed chicken to the bowl with the marinade. Toss well to ensure the chicken is completely coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Thread the marinated chicken and chopped vegetables (bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, cherry tomatoes) onto the skewers, alternating them in a colorful pattern.
  6. Arrange the kebabs in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there is space between them for even roasting.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the kebabs halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through (reaches an internal temperature of 165°F) and the vegetables are tender.
  8. For extra color, switch the oven to the broil setting and broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching closely until the edges are slightly charred.
  9. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Tip 1: Don't overcrowd the pan! Use two sheet pans if necessary to ensure the kebabs roast instead of steam.
Tip 2: Cut your vegetables and chicken into uniform sizes for even cooking.
Tip 3: The marinating time is key for flavor, so don't skip it, even if it's just for 30 minutes.
