Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3–4 breasts)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup bell peppers (any color), chopped into chunks
- 1 medium red onion, chopped into chunks
- 1 cup tzatziki sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken: Cut chicken breasts into one-inch cubes and place them in a resealable bag or bowl. Pour marinade over chicken, seal or cover, and refrigerate for at least one hour (two hours is ideal).
- Chop Veggies: While marinating, chop bell peppers and red onion into chunks similar in size to the chicken.
- Assemble Skewers: Thread marinated chicken cubes onto skewers alternately with bell peppers and onion chunks without packing tightly.
- Grill: Preheat grill over medium-high heat (375°F/190°C). Cook kabobs on the grill for about 10-15 minutes total, turning occasionally until chicken is fully cooked.
- Serve: Transfer kabobs to plates and serve with tzatziki sauce on the side for dipping.
