Method
 

Marinade and Prep
  1. In a mixing bowl or plastic bag, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and brown sugar until well combined. Add in Dijon mustard, dried herbs, and seasonings. Reserve ¼ cup of this marinade for later basting.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine chopped zucchini, bell peppers, and red onion. Pour in 3 tablespoons of the reserved marinade, tossing until coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Marinate chicken in another bowl or resealable bag with remaining marinade. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  4. Soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes before assembling kabobs.
Cooking
  1. Assemble skewers by threading chicken and veggies alternately, ensuring they are snug but not overcrowded.
  2. Preheat grill to medium-high or oven to 400°F (200°C). Oil the grill grates.
  3. Cook kabobs on the grill for about 8-12 minutes or in the oven for 16-22 minutes, turning halfway until chicken reaches 160°F (71°C).
  4. Let kabobs rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For maximum flavor, marinate chicken overnight. Cut pieces uniformly for even cooking. Let kabobs rest after cooking to retain juices. Feel free to experiment with additional veggies.
