Grilled chicken skewers with colorful bell peppers and zucchini on a dark grill pan

Looks like this weekend is going to be beautiful! (At least here in Colorado.) Here's a delicious, healthy recipe to throw on the grill!

Tips

  • Serve with quinoa, brown rice, or cauliflower rice.
  • Make it Mediterranean-style: add a drizzle of tzatziki or a sprinkle of feta.
  • For extra flavor: add fresh herbs (parsley, dill) after grilling.
