Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cups Olive oil
- 0.25 cups Lemon juice
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 piece Red bell pepper
- 1 piece Green bell pepper
- 1 piece Red onion
- 2 pieces Zucchini
- 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1.5-inch cubes and set them aside in a bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
While the chicken marinates, soak wooden skewers in water if you are using them to prevent burning during grilling. If using metal skewers, there is no need to soak.
Prepare the vegetables by cutting the red and green bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into bite-sized chunks, roughly the same size as the chicken pieces.
Once the chicken has marinated, assemble the kabobs by skewering the chicken and vegetables in an alternating pattern. Repeat until all the ingredients are used up.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure even cooking. The chicken should be fully cooked with a golden, slightly charred exterior, and the vegetables should be tender.
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the Grilled Greek Style Chicken Kabobs with a side of tzatziki sauce, a fresh green salad, or warm pita bread for a complete meal.
