Instructions
Chicken Prep
- Whisk together oil, minced garlic, thyme, oregano, parsley, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Add to a large ziploc bag along with chicken, close and toss well, chill for 10-15 minutes.
Veggie Prep
- In a large bowl combine zucchini and squash along with oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper, thyme, oregano, and parsley and toss to combine.
Skewer Prep and Cooking
- Skewer chicken and veggies (putting them on separate skewers helps them to cook more evenly, but they can be done on the same skewers). Grill for about 10 minutes, rotating throughout until chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing on top.
Notes
To substitute dried herbs, replace the fresh chopped thyme, oregano, and parsley with 1/4 teaspoon of each of the dried herbs instead.
