This easy Chicken Brochette and Zucchini Salad is a wonderful main course recipe for summer entertaining!
The chicken brochettes can be prepared ahead of time and all you have to do is grill them up when guests arrive. They also pair beautifully with my grilled zucchini salad that you can pop on the grill at the same time!

Assembling the Brochettes
Chicken brochettes are so easy to make for summer entertaining because you can cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and marinate the chicken ahead of time, in olive oil, vinegar, garlic, and fresh or dried oregano.
Then thread the chicken onto the skewers, alternating 2-3 pieces of chicken with the lemon slices. Then you can place the brochettes in a baking dish, covered with foil, and they’ll be all ready to go when it’s time to grill.
Grilling the Zucchini
This is a great recipe for using up any zucchini you may have growing in the garden. If you don’t pick them, they will keep growing and become huge!
After brushing with olive oil and seasoning, you can grill each side for just a few minutes.
Once the zucchini is done, place the crumbled goat cheese on top right away.
The heat from the zucchini will warm the goat cheese and make it even softer and creamier, creating a truly delicious combination!

Make it a Party!
For a starter, try my Shrimp Stuffed Avocado Cups. They are light and refreshing and a “no-cook” recipe if you buy pre-cooked shrimp.
And for dessert, my Easy Plum Crumble or Peach Tarte Tatin would make a great finish!
