N/A (excluding any specific allergies to the listed ingredients)

Ingredients

• 1. 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast 2. 8 medium zucchini 3. 1 cup cherry tomatoes 4. 1 red bell pepper 5. 1 yellow bell pepper 6. 1/4 cup olive oil 7. 2 tbsp lemon juice 8. 1 tsp garlic powder 9. Salt and black pepper, to taste 10. 1/2 cup Greek yogurt 11. 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill 12. 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint 13. 1/2 tsp ground cumin

Instructions

1. Cut the chicken breast into 1 inch cubes and thread onto skewers along with cherry tomatoes and bell peppers.
2. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Pour half of this marinade over the skewers and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. While the chicken is marinating, spiralize zucchini into noodles or use a julienne peeler to create thin strips. Set aside.
4. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium high heat. Grill the skewers until cooked through and slightly charred, about 6 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
5. In a small bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, dill, mint, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a sauce.
6. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini noodles and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
7. Divide the zucchini noodles among 4 plates, top with grilled skewers, and drizzle with yogurt sauce. Serve immediately.

Chef’s Insight

1. Using a combination of chicken, cherry tomatoes, and bell peppers on the skewers adds both flavor and texture to this dish. 2. The marinade not only enhances the flavor of the meat but also helps to keep it tender and juicy during grilling.
