Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil plus more for grilling
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- salt and pepper to taste
- vegetables like bell pepper or zucchini cut into 1-inch pieces
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, honey, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken and stir to coat. Place in the fridge and marinate for 30 minutes or up to 3 hours. Chicken marinated for longer than 3 hours will begin to break down. If using wooden skewers, let them soak in water for at least 20 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F). Brush or spray the grill grates with oil.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off the excess marinade. Discard the marinade. Thread the chicken and the veggies onto the skewers, alternating between a piece of chicken followed by a piece of vegetable and so on, ending with a piece of chicken.
- Grill the chicken for about 10-15 minutes until it reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer. Turn the skewers as they cook so the chicken and veggies are nicely caramelized and have grill marks.
- Transfer the cooked skewers to a platter and serve with lemon wedges and your favorite sides.
