Ingredients

• 500g chicken breasts, cut into chunks
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1 1/2 tsp dried basil
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp ground coriander 
• Salt and ground black pepper
• 2 large red peppers, cut into pieces
• 3 small courgettes 
• 1 large red onion

Method

1. In a bowl whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, 2 tsp oregano, 1 tsp basil, the thyme, coriander and season with salt and pepper to taste (I used 3/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper). 
2. Place chicken in a gallon size resealable bag, pour olive oil mixture over chicken and press chicken into marinade. Seal bag and refrigerate 45 minutes to 2 hours (no longer than 2 hours or the chicken will start to get mealy because of the acidic ingredients). If using wooden skewers soak them in water for 30 minutes.
3. Drizzle and toss veggies with 2 Tbsp of the olive oil (I just left them on the cutting board and tossed them) and season with remaining 1/2 tsp oregano, 1/2 tsp basil and salt to taste.
4. Preheat a grill over medium-high heat. Thread a red bell pepper, red onion, zucchini, 2 chicken pieces on to skewer and repeat twice.
5. Brush grill lightly with olive oil, place skewers on grill and grill until chicken registers 165°F (73°C) in center, about 8 - 12 minutes, rotating once halfway through cooking. Garnish with parsley, serve warm with tzatziki sauce.
