Greek food has a ton of flavor and this recipe is no exception. I love preparing kabobs on the grill because they are so easy and delicious. Let's get cooking!

Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, paprika, oregano, basil, thyme, garlic, shallot, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1 1/4 teaspoons pepper.
4 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp juice from one lemon, 1 tbsp lemon zest, 1 tsp ground paprika, 2 tsp dried oregano, 2 tsp dried basil, 1 tsp dried thyme, 3 cloves garlic, 1 shallot, salt and black pepper, to taste
Wash and dry chicken with paper towels. Stir in chicken until well coated by sauce and marinate for at least 2 hours to overnight, turning halfway through.
2 pounds boneless chicken thighs
When ready to make skewers, preheat grill to medium heat.
Drain the chicken from the marinade and thread chicken onto skewers. Thread zucchini on separate skewers. Brush 1 tablespoons of olive oil on chicken skewers and use a separate brush to use the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil on zucchini. Season skewers with salt and pepper, to taste.
2 large zucchinis
Add skewers to grill, and cook, turning occasionally, until the chicken is completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Serve with a green salad tossed with olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
