  • Olive oil – ½ cup
  • Garlic – 10 cloves, minced

  • Paprika – 2 tsp
  • Red wine vinegar – 1 tbsp
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions
  1. Cut the boneless & skinless chicken thighs into 1-inch long cubes. Take the chicken cubes in a bowl.
  2. Add all the other ingredients listed under chicken into the same bowl and give everything a good mix making sure the chicken pieces are thoroughly coated with the herb-loaded olive oil.
  3. Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and let it marinate for couple of hours in the refrigerator.
  4. Cut each of the bell peppers into 1-inch squares. Cut the zucchini into 1-cm thick circles. Cut the onions into 1-inch chunks and separate the petals. Wash the veggies well and drain all water out. Make sure the veggies are as dry as possible.
  5. Take the veggies in a large bowl and add all other ingredient listed under veggies to the same bowl. Give everything a good mix.
  6. Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and let them marinate for couple of hours in the refrigerator.
  7. When you are ready to grill, heat a grill pan until smoking hot. Brush some olive oil over the pan.
  8. Thread the chicken pieces and veggies alternatively into each bamboo skewer creating a stunning visual appeal. Reserve the left over marinate which will be used for basting the chicken kabobs while grilling.
  9. Place the threaded skewers on hot grill and leave them undisturbed for 2 minutes on high heat. Keep brushing the kabobs with left over marinate.
  10. Flip the skewers over after 2 minutes and let the other side grill on high heat for another 2 minutes while continuously basting the skewers with marinating liquid.
  11. After 2 minutes, lower the heat to medium and continue to cook the kabobs for 10 to 15 minutes flipping frequently in between until they are completely cooked on all sides. If you are using chicken breast, it will take much less time to cook.
  12. Once the kabobs are cooked through, switch off the flame. Serve the Mediterranean chicken kabobs on a platter with spicy mayo on the side. Enjoy!
