Greek Chicken Kabobs
Description
Greek Chicken Kabobs begin by marinating chunks of boneless, skinless chicken breast in a mixture of olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. This marinade tenderizes the chicken while infusing it with savory, tangy, and aromatic notes. The chicken is refrigerated in the marinade for at least an hour to develop flavor.
After marination, chicken pieces are threaded onto skewers alternately with red onion chunks, slices of zucchini, and colorful red and yellow bell pepper pieces. Grilling over medium-high heat for around 15 minutes, with periodic turning, ensures the chicken cooks evenly and vegetables lightly char, adding smokiness and texture.
This combination results in juicy, flavorful chicken with slightly crisp vegetables, offering a balanced dish suitable for lunch or dinner. Serving the kabobs with lemon wedges and tzatziki sauce enhances the Mediterranean profile and adds freshness and cooling contrast.
