Here’s a flavorful recipe inspired by cajun cooking. These kebabs are perfect when you want to prepare something tasty, but don’t have a lot of time. You can try experimenting with the spice combination, but in my opinion it balances well the heat with the oregano and thyme.

When you thread the chicken and squash, make sure that you leave some space around the meat so that it cooks evenly. Of course, you can try adding different vegetables to these kebabs (like peppers, tomatoes or onions), according to your taste.
