Instructions

In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, ground coriander, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let marinate for at least 20 minutes.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating with chunks of red onion, red bell pepper, and zucchini.
Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
Remove from the grill and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
