September Sizzlin' Skewers

The crisp September air has rolled in and here’s a simple recipe that is perfect for a weekend dinner, lunch, or even as a hearty snack. They're not only delicious but also so easy that even the busiest dad can whip them up in no time!

Ingredients:

Makes roughly two skewers

• 1 lb boneless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes

• 1 bell pepper (any color), cut into chunks

• 1 zucchini, sliced

• 1 red onion, cut into chunks

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes

• Olive oil

• Salt, to taste

• Pepper, to taste

• 2 tsp smoked paprika

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• Wooden or metal skewers

Marinade (Optional for extra flavour):

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 2 tbsp lemon juice

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 tsp dried oregano

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken (optional): In a bowl, whisk together all the marinade ingredients. Toss in chicken cubes, ensuring they're well coated. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for a deeper flavour).

2. Preheat the Grill: Fire up that grill to medium-high heat!

3. Skewer Assembly: Thread chicken, bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes onto skewers. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Give them a good rub to ensure even seasoning.

4. Grill Time: Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has those sizzlin' grill marks.

5. Serve: Once done, remove from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Serve with a side of garlic bread or a fresh garden salad. And, of course, dad's special BBQ sauce, if you have any!
