  1. Cut the chicken into small cubes.
  2. Cut off the ends of the zucchini; cut the zucchini into lengthwise ribbons using a  mandolin.
  3. Assemble: place a cube of chicken and a zucchini ribbon on the skewer; repeat.
  4. Marinate the skewers in olive oil with a little lemon juice; season with salt and pepper and add the spice of your choice. Allow at least 1 hour.
