Ingredients

  • 1 lb meat (such as chicken breast or beef sirloin)
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1 medium bell pepper
  • 1 medium red onion
  • 8 oz mushrooms
  • 3 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the 1 lb meat and the 1 zucchini, 1 bell pepper, and 1 onion into 1-inch chunks. In a bowl, toss everything with the 8 oz mushrooms, 3 tbsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Thread the meat and vegetables onto skewers, alternating them. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10 minutes first to prevent burning.

  3. 3

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is browned and cooked through and the vegetables are charred at the edges.

  4. 4

    Rest the skewers for 2 minutes, then sprinkle with chopped fresh rosemary or parsley if you have them. Serve hot.
