Instructions
Creating these Herb Chicken & Zucchini Skewers is simple if you follow these clear steps:
1. Prepare Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, thyme, rosemary, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate Chicken: Add the cubed chicken into the bowl, coating it well with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
3. Preheat Grill: If you’re using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. For broiling, preheat your oven’s broiler.
4. Prepare Skewers: After marinating, take the skewers. Thread the marinated chicken and zucchini pieces alternately onto the skewers.
5. Cook on Grill: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
6. Broiling Option: If you’re broiling, place skewers on a baking sheet and broil for approximately 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through.
7. Check Doneness: Ensure that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
8. Serve Immediately: Once cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
These concise steps will lead you to succulent Herb Chicken & Zucchini Skewers that impress everyone around the dining table.
