Grilled chicken skewers marinated in lemon, garlic, and oregano, perfect for outdoor gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Skewers (soaked in water if wooden)
  • Optional: cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, red onion

Instructions

  1. Create the Flavorful Marinade: In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create a luscious marinade.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the cubed chicken to the marinade and give it a gentle toss. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes—this is when the flavor really sinks in!
  3. Preheat Your Grill: While the chicken is soaking up the flavors, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. This step is crucial for achieving perfect grill marks and juicy chicken.
  4. Assemble the Skewers: Now, it’s time for the fun part! Thread the marinated chicken and any optional vegetables like cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, or red onion onto the skewers.
  5. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and let them cook for about 10-15 minutes. Turn them occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and boasts those enticing grill marks.
  6. Serve and Savor: Remove the skewers from the grill and serve warm. For an authentic touch, pair them with tzatziki sauce and warm pita bread.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Feel free to mix and match your favorite vegetables based on the season.
