Grilled Greek Chicken Kebabs
This is going to be one my all-time grilling favorites for a long time. This is a quick, deliciously flavorful, and versatile dish that when served with the Mint-Feta Sauce takes it over the top.
Grilling and eating outdoors are around the corner for the warmer months ahead. This is the perfect dish for weekend dining, get-togethers or when you get home and don’t have time for a lot of fuss (prepare the eve before and grill when you get home!).
- Cut chicken and vegetables the same size for more even cooking (and aesthetics).
- Soak wooden skewers in water before using to avoid their burring during cooking (about 15+ minutes).
- Feel free to add other vegetables. I added a red bell pepper which added to the colorful visual appeal of the kebabs and their flavor was a delicious compliment to the marinade and other ingredients.
- Allow time for the ingredients to marinate and time to prepare the skewers.
- The icing is the Mint-Feta dipping sauce.
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts (about 4), cut into 1-inch pieces
1 zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
1 red, yellow or orange bell pepper, quartered and cut into 1-inch pieces/slices
1/2 small red onion, quartered
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper (or to taste)
Grilled Greek Chicken Kebabs – Prep
Use a resealable bag to combine the chicken, zucchini, bell pepper, onion, olive oil, oregano and red-wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes (you can refrigerate up to overnight. Place bag on a plate in the refrigerator in case of leakage).
On each skewer, thread 3 pieces of chicken with zucchini, bell peppers and onions.
