How to Make Cajun Kabobs

  1. Preheat your broiler.
  2. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.
  3. Position the oven rack about 5 inches from the broiler element.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Cut 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces.
  6. Lightly spray the chicken with cooking spray, then toss with the Cajun spice mixture until evenly coated.
  7. Divide the chicken and vegetables into two equal portions and thread onto 2 separate skewers.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  9. Cut 1 medium zucchini and 1 medium yellow squash into 2-inch pieces. Toss with the olive oil mixture to coat.
  10. Divide the zucchini and squash in half and place them onto the skewers, alternating with the chicken.
  11. Place the skewers on the prepared baking sheet.
  12. Broil for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, flipping halfway through. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  13. Serve immediately and enjoy!
