Directions

Prep 40 minCook 12 min

1
Combine cilantro, mint, garlic, scallions, chile, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a blender. Pulse to a rough paste, then blend while streaming in the olive oil until smooth.
2
Toss the cubed chicken with the marinade in a shallow dish or zip-top bag, coating evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes.
3
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water. Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high and oil the grates lightly.
4
Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, weaving or folding the thin zucchini slices between pieces of chicken. Discard any leftover marinade.
5
Grill the kebabs, turning every few minutes, until the chicken is cooked through to 165°F and lightly charred, about 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a platter and rest briefly before serving.
