Variations Ideas
- Change Meat – We used chicken breast for these kabobs but you can also use chicken thighs or chicken tenders. You can also use beef, lamb, or pork.
- Marinade – Feel free to change the ingredients to the Greek Marinade. Add in red wine vinegar, Greek Yogurt, or fresh herbs.
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1 – In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Step 2 – Add chicken cubes and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to marinate chicken. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Step 3 – Prepare bell peppers, onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Thread chicken and vegetables alternately onto skewers.
Step 4 – Grill and cook kabobs for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender directly on grill grates. Serve fully cooked kabob with your favorite sides.
Recipe Tips
- Chicken: Using boneless, skinless chicken breasts ensures quick cooking and easy eating. Thighs can be used for more moisture and flavor but may require slightly longer grilling. Make sure to cut in about the same bite-sized pieces.
- Skewer Tips: If using wooden skewers, soaking them in water prevents burning. Metal skewers are a reusable alternative that conducts heat, potentially speeding up the cooking process.
- Grill: Keeping the grill at a medium-high heat allows for a good sear on the outside of the chicken while cooking it through without burning. Turn the kabobs regularly for even cooking.
- Cooking Methods – Feel free to cook these Greek Chicken Skewers on a grill pan or on a baking sheet in the oven.
Serving Suggestions
These Greek Chicken Kabobs are a complete meal but you can also add an easy grilled side dish to complete the meal. Serve over a Greek Salad or with a side of Pita Bread.
