Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 green bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 small zucchini cut ½-inch thick
- ½ red onion cut into 1-inch pieces
- Lemon wedges for serving
For the Marinade
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice about 1 lemon
- 3 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- For the marinade, in a medium bowl, combine ⅓ cup olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken, toss well to coat, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
- Place the vegetables in a large bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
- Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Discard the marinade and thread the chicken and vegetables onto skewers.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Add the skewers and cook, turning frequently, for 10 to 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Serve the skewers with lemon wedges and tzatziki if desired.

Notes
- Oven: Chicken Kabobs can be broiled in the oven. To broil: Place skewers on a foil-lined pan and turn the broiler to high. Broil 4-5-inches from the heat for 5-6 minutes per side or until chicken reaches 165°F.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve with rice, Greek potatoes or tuck into a pita and top with tzatziki.
- Nutrition information is for ¼ of the recipe and accounts for ⅓ of the marinade (as the rest is discarded).
