Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs. chicken breasts cut into 1-½ inch cubes
- 1 red bell pepper cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 green bell pepper cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 red onion cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. pepper
Greek Shish Kabob Marinade
- 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ tsp. rosemary dried
- ½ tsp. thyme dried
- 1 tsp. Greek oregano dried
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. pepper
- 6 wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- Prepare chicken and vegetables by cutting into bite-sized pieces.
- Toss vegetables in 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl whisk together marinade ingredients. Add chicken and marinade to a 1-gallon zip-top bag. Toss to coat. Refrigerate for at 20-30 minutes and no longer than 30 minutes. (The acidity of the lemon juice will make the chicken extremely mealy if marinated too long.)
- On six soaked wooden skewers or metal skewers alternatively add chicken cubes and vegetables. Repeat until all six skewers are filled and ingredients are gone.
- Heat grill to Medium-High heat. Add skewers and cook for 10-12 minutes per side. If your chicken cubes are pretty thick, you can close the grill for the last 10 minutes to speed up the cooking process.
- Cook skewers until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. (You can check this by using a meat thermometer.)
- Serve Grilled Greek Chicken Kabobs with tzatziki sauce and enjoy!
