Tender, juicy Greek Chicken Skewers marinated with lemon, herbs, and fresh veggies, perfect for a delicious summer evening.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken breast, cut into cubes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 bell peppers, cut into chunks (any color you like)
- 1 red onion, cut into chunks
- Skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling)
Instructions
- Mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to create a zesty marinade.
- Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

- Thread the marinated chicken, chunks of bell peppers, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating as you go for a colorful presentation.
- Grill the kabobs for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and has beautiful char marks.
- Serve hot on a platter, and watch everyone gather around for a taste of these delightful skewers!
Notes
Marinate the chicken the night before for maximum flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
