  2. Marinate Vegetables: Pour 3 tablespoons of the marinade over zucchini, bell peppers, and red onion. Toss and set aside for 30 minutes.
  3. Marinate Chicken: Place cubed chicken in a bowl. Cover with remaining marinade. Seal and refrigerate both chicken and vegetables for at least 4 hours.
  4. Soak Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling.
  5. Thread Skewers: Alternate threading chicken and vegetables onto skewers, leaving space between pieces.
  6. Preheat Grill/Oven: Preheat your grill to medium-high or set the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  7. Cook Kabobs: Grill for 8-12 minutes or bake for 16-22 minutes, until chicken is 160°F and golden-brown.
  8. Rest and Serve: Allow kabobs to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
