Prep the veggies by cutting the zucchini into cubes and alternating the zucchini & mushrooms onto the skewers.
- 3
Brush the veggies with olive oil first, then the pesto and season with salt, pepper, & Italian Seasoning (if desired).

Heat the charcoal grill by adding the hot coals to one side of the kettle, leaving the other side available for indirect heat space.

Add the chicken to the indirect side, and brush the other sides with the Italian Dressing. Add pats of butter to each thigh.

Grill each thigh for a few (5-6 minutes) per side and then once the veggies are removed, move to the direct heat for a little more charring and to achieve some grill marks.
