Ingredients

2 lbs. (1 kg) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
½ cup (125 mL) olive oil
2 tbsp (30 mL) Lemon Garlic Rub
½ zucchini, sliced into ½" (1-cm) half moons
1 small onion, cut into 1" (2.5-cm) chunks
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1" (2.5-cm) chunks

1 cup (250 mL) sour cream or Greek yogurt
⅓ cup (75 mL) finely chopped cucumber
1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice
1 tbsp (15 mL) Lemon Garlic Rub

Optional: Cooked rice or green salad

Directions

Preheat the oven or grill to 500°F (260°C).
Cut the chicken breasts into 1" (2.5-cm) pieces.
Combine the oil and rub in a large bowl. Add the chicken and vegetables and toss to combine.
Thread the vegetables and chicken onto six 12" (30-cm) wooden skewers.
Place the skewers on a sheet pan and bake until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C), about 14–16 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk together the sauce ingredients until they’re combined.
Serve the kebabs with the sauce. If you’d like, serve it over cooked rice or a salad.

Cook's Tips:

Preferred Protein: Change out the chicken for beef tenderloin, New York strip steak (or any other kind of steak!), lamb, or pork. If you’re looking for a meatless option, try portobello mushrooms!

Veggie Variety: Try adding yellow squash, whole button mushrooms, marinated artichokes, or even chopped asparagus.
