Zesty Lemon Chicken Skewers with Roasted Veggie Quinoa

Vibrant, family-friendly skewers with tender lemon-garlic chicken, served over a bed of roasted vegetables and fluffy quinoa.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 2 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 red bell pepper, cubed
  • 1 zucchini, cubed
  • 1/2 red onion, cubed
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken, lemon zest and juice, garlic, 2 tbsp olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to marinate.

  2. 2

    Preheat oven to 400°F. On a large baking sheet, toss the cubed bell pepper, zucchini, and onion with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway, until vegetables are tender and lightly charred.
