1 1/2 tablespoons garlic finely minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
4 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
1/2 cup minced fresh herbs I used a mix of basil, rosemary and oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 medium zucchini cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 large red bell pepper cut into 3/4 inch squares

Instructions

In a small bowl combine garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, herbs, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Set aside.
Place cut vegetables in a zip lock bag and add 3 tablespoons of the herb marinade. Toss to coat. Place chicken in separate bag and add remaining marinade and toss to coat. Let sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes and up to 4-6 hours.
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Thread the skewers alternating with meat and vegetables. Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill for 3-4 minutes and then flip. Continue to cook and flip when necessary until the chicken is cooked through to 165 degrees.
