These vibrant chicken and summer squash kebabs are a celebration of seasonal produce, combining lean protein with the bright, citrusy notes of orange, lemon and lime. The marinade doubles as a tenderising agent for the chicken and a flavour base for the vegetables, while a hint of cumin and chilli adds a subtle, smoky warmth. It is an ideal dish for outdoor dining or a quick midweek meal that feels both light and satisfying.

As a high-protein option, this recipe is perfect for those seeking a nutritious dinner that does not compromise on taste. The skewers are served alongside a peppery rocket and cherry tomato salad, dressed with a simple balsamic vinaigrette. For a more substantial meal, these kebabs also pair beautifully with a side of herby couscous or toasted flatbreads.

How to make Chicken-and-Summer-Squash Kebabs

If using wooden skewers, soak in water at least 20 minutes. Whisk first 5 ingredients and 60ml oil in a bowl. Add chicken, arranging to make sure liquid covers all pieces. Cover with plastic wrap. Marinate 1 hour. Meanwhile, whisk together remaining 60ml oil and vinegar and brush liberally on vegetables; reserve remaining liquid to use as salad dressing. On a wooden or metal skewer, thread (in any order you like) a piece each of onion, courgette, chicken and squash, then repeat for remaining skewers. Season with pepper. Coat grill with cooking spray. Heat grill to medium-high heat. Cook kebabs about 7 1/2 minutes per side or until chicken is firm and cooked through. Toss greens with remaining oil and vinegar mixture. Add salt and pepper. Divide greens among 4 plates. Place 2 kebabs on each plate. Garnish with tomatoes and serve immediately.
