You should get about 5 or 6 skewers,  do not marinade longer than 6 hours or the lemon juice or vinegar will start to “cook” the chicken, since this is a full-flavor marinade a short marinating time is good enough… if you like a little heat then add in some cayenne pepper to the marinade, I most always do! :)

Serve with my Tzatziki recipe posted HERE

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup olive oil (can use 1/2 cup each olive oil and vegetable or Canola oil)

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice or red wine vinegar

2 tablespoons water

1 teaspoon salt

6 large garlic cloves, chopped

1 tablespoon dried oregano (rubbed between fingers to release the flavor)

1-2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper or lemon pepper

2 teaspoons honey (do not substitute sugar for the honey)

6 large boneless chicken breast, cut into about 1 or 1-1/2-inch cubes

2 medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise, then cut into 3/4 or 1-inch pieces

fresh ground black pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:——————————–
In a medium bowl combine the first 9 ingredients until well blended; transfer to a large heavy-duty ziploc plastic bag.

Add in the chicken and toss to coat with the marinade.

Seal bag and refrigerate for 3-6 hours turning the bag several times during refrigeration time to insure even marinating (do not marinade for more than 6 hours or the lemon juice or vinegar will start “cook” the chicken) .

Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade.

Thread the chicken and zucchini, alternately onto each of 5 or 6 skewers.

Sprinkle each skewer lightly with fresh ground black pepper and salt if desired.

Grill over medium-high heat turning skewers frequently until the chicken is cooked through (about 8-10 minutes).
