Grilled Greek Chicken Kabobs
Main Ingredients: Chicken Breasts, Plain Greek Yogurt, Mayo, Lemon Juice
Last but not least, we have the classic recipe for Grilled Greek Chicken Kabobs. This recipe uses a simple marinade of lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and oregano to let the flavors of the chicken shine. Serve them with a side of tzatziki sauce and your favorite Greek side dishes for a complete and satisfying meal.
Preparing the marinade
To start off, the key to a flavorful and tender chicken kabob is the marinade. In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, and salt and pepper. For an extra kick of flavor, you can also add in some crumbled feta cheese to the marinade. Then, add in the chicken breast chunks and make sure they are fully coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl and let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to fully infuse into the chicken.
Choosing the right vegetables
While the chicken is marinating, it's time to prep the vegetables for the kabobs. Red and green bell peppers, red onions, and zucchini are classic choices for Greek-style kabobs. However, feel free to mix it up and add in other vegetables like cherry tomatoes or eggplant. Cut the vegetables into bite-sized chunks, making sure they are all similar in size for even cooking.
Assembling the kabobs
Once the chicken has marinated, it's time to assemble the kabobs. Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill. Then, thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between the two. Make sure to leave some space between each piece to ensure they cook evenly.
Grilling to perfection
Heat up your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. Place the assembled kabobs on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are slightly charred. You can also cook these kabobs in the oven at 375°F for 20-25 minutes if you don't have a grill.
Serving and enjoying
Once the kabobs are cooked to perfection, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve them with a side of Tzatziki sauce for dipping and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. These Greek chicken kabobs are not only delicious but also healthy and nutritious. They are perfect for a summer barbecue or a quick and easy weeknight meal. Try out this recipe and add your own twist to make it your own. Enjoy!
