Delicious Greek Chicken Kabobs Recipe for Grilling

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 lb boneless chicken breast (cut into cubes)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (for marinating)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 bell pepper cut into squares (for skewering)
  • 1 red onion cut into squares (for skewering)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare Marinade

    In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.

    Let the marinade sit for 10 minutes to enhance flavors.
  2. Marinate Chicken

    Add chicken pieces to the marinade and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

    Longer marinating time results in juicier chicken.
  3. Prepare Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

    Metal skewers can be used without soaking.
  4. Assemble Kabobs

    Thread marinated chicken, bell pepper, and onion onto skewers, alternating ingredients.

    Leave a little space between pieces for even cooking.
  5. Grill Kabobs

    Preheat grill to medium-high heat and cook kabobs for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally.

    Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
