To make the marinade, stir the lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, 2 teaspoons of olive oil, and garlic in a mixing bowl. Place chicken cubes in a large Ziploc bag and pour the marinade over the top. Close the bag and use your hands to distribute the marinade evenly. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. Meanwhile, soak eight 8-inch wooden skewers in cold water to prevent charring. When the chicken is done marinating, thread them on the skewers with the bell peppers, tomatoes, and mushrooms in an alternating pattern. Place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the skewers halfway through. Heat the remaining teaspoon of olive oil in a pan and set over medium heat. Add the zucchini noodles and toss for 2-3 minutes or until tender. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with black pepper. Serve your chicken and veggie skewers over the zucchini noodles, and enjoy!
