Ingredients
Chicken Kebabs:
- 1 ½ lbs. chicken thighs or chicken breasts
- 3 Tbsp. oil olive or avocado, divided (2 chicken, 1-2 veggies)
- 2 Tbsp. lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 2 bell peppers red, green, or a mix
- 1 red onion or sweet onion
Homemade Greek Seasoning:
- 2 tsp. oregano dried
- 2 tsp. basil dried
- 1 tsp. parsley dried
- 1 tsp. Dill dried
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- ½ tsp. rosemary dried
- ½ tsp. thyme dried
- ½ tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. black pepper
- 2 tsp. salt
- wooden or metal skewers
To Serve:
- fresh parsley finely chopped
- Tzatziki sauce optional
Instructions
- Soak wooden skewers in a shallow dish that is filled with 1-inch of water for at least 10-15 minutes.
- Cut chicken thighs, or breasts, into 1 to 1-½ inch pieces.
- Whisk together Greek seasoning in a small bowl.
- Marinate chicken by adding 2 tablespoons oil, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons Greek seasoning mix to a large bowl. Whisk together until well combined. Add the chicken and toss until it’s well coated. Let marinade for 15 minutes while preparing the vegetables.
- Cut the bell peppers and onion into 1 to 1-½ inch pieces. Add to a large bowl and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of oil and sprinkle with the remaining Greek seasoning mix. Toss until well coated.
- Thread the vegetables and chicken on the skewers in an alternating fashion. You should end up with roughly 8 skewers filled.
- Add skewers to a grill over medium to medium-high heat. Grill kabobs for 12-15 minutes, rotating the skewers every 2-3 minutes. Make sure to move the skewers from the front to the back so each one has a chance to be on the hot spot of the grill. You’ll know they’re done when the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. (You can check this using a meat thermometer.)
- Serve these Greek Chicken Kabobs with chopped fresh parsley and some homemade or store-bought Tzatziki Sauce.
Notes
- Prep-Ahead Instructions:
- Feel free to make the Greek seasoning and tzatziki sauce a couple days early. You can also cut the chicken and veggies the day before, but wait to marinate the chicken until the day you plan to skewer them. The veggies and chicken can be skewered up to 24 hours in advance.
- Nutritional information is for one skewer without any tzatziki sauce.
