Ingredients
- 1 lbs chicken breasts or thighs (skinless and boneless) cut into 1" chunks
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 medium sized lemon)
- 1 Tablespoon fresh oregano finely chopped (1 1/2 teaspoon if using dried)
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
Instructions
- Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl. Coat chicken pieces.
- Marinate chicken for a minimum of 30 minutes. Marinate up to three hours for maximum flavor.
- Thread chicken on metal skewers. Add mushroom caps and bell pepper if desired.
- Grill or broil chicken until done. This will depend on the thickness of your chicken, and temperature of your grill or broiler.
Notes
- Either chicken thighs or breasts can be used. Breast meat has less fat, but isn't as juicy. Thighs have more fat, but are more flavorful. You can also use a combination of breast and thighs.
- Add veggies to your skewers if desired. This also makes more skewers and is perfect for a BBQ.
- Make ahead tip:Add your marinade to a zip-lock bag with chicken pieces and freeze. The day before you are ready to cook chicken, defrost bag in fridge. It will defrost and marinate all at once.
