How to make chicken skewers with zucchini
Start by cutting the zucchini, remove the ends and slice or dice it as you prefer.
Transfer them into a bowl along with the chicken cut into pieces, season it with spices: salt, paprika, lemon juice and mix. Marinate everything for about 30 minutes.
Start skewering alternately zucchini and chicken onto the sticks until all ingredients are used up.
Preheat the oven and cook for about 15-20 minutes at 356°F, turning them halfway through. Remove from oven and serve your skewers with another squeeze of lemon.

You can prepare them a few hours in advance and keep them in the refrigerator well covered with plastic wrap to prevent them from absorbing other odors. You can experiment with other marinades such as: Soy sauce, honey, and ginger, or yogurt, garlic, mint and lemon juice. They are excellent accompanied by a nice salad or delicious baked carrots.
