Ingredients

1 lb ground chicken

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 zucchini, sliced into rounds

1 small red onion, cut into chunks

Skewers (soaked in water if wooden)

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, minced garlic, smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and fresh parsley. Mix until well combined.

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.

On each skewer, thread pieces of the seasoned chicken mixture, alternating with diced red bell pepper, zucchini slices, and red onion chunks. Press the chicken mixture tightly onto the skewers so it adheres well.

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until the chicken is cooked through and the skewers are nicely charred.

While grilling, brush with a small amount of olive oil to keep the skewers moist.

Once cooked, remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with extra fresh parsley before serving.
