In a large bowl, combine 1 pound of ground chicken, 1/2 cup of finely chopped red bell pepper, 1/2 cup of diced zucchini, and 1/4 cup of finely chopped red onion.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice of 1 lemon, the zest of 1 orange, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
Pour the marinade over the ground chicken mixture and mix until well combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating, soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning.
Once marinated, form the ground chicken mixture into small patties or balls and thread them onto the skewers, alternating with cherry tomatoes and pieces of bell pepper.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
If using an oven, place the skewers on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through.
Serve the skewers with a side of tzatziki sauce or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
