Back to recipe

Ingredients

  • 2-3 chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3-4 tablespoons Truly Turmericâ„¢ paste (or equal amount of ground turmeric)
  • 4 teaspoons garlic powder, divided
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper, divided
  • 1 (16-ounce) bottle of Italian dressing
  • 2 red bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 yellow bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 small zucchini, cut into 1-inch slices
  • Parsley, chopped for garnish

Directions

  1. In a gallon-sized zip-close bag, add the chicken, turmeric paste, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and half of the Italian dressing. Seal and mix to coat the chicken. Place in refrigerator for 1 hour, or up to 8 hours. 
  2. In another gallon-sized zip-close bag, add the vegetables, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.  With the remaining Italian dressing, add enough to coat the vegetables.  Seal and refrigerate for 1 hour. 
  3. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Thread the chicken and vegetables onto metal or wood skewers. If using wood skewers, pre-soak them in water to prevent burning. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is completely cooked. 
  5. Garnish with parsley and serve.
