Instructions
Creating flavorful Greek Chicken Kabobs is an easy process if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate Chicken: Place chicken cubes in a sizeable resealable bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Grill: If you’re grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat while the chicken marinates.
4. Prepare Skewers: If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to avoid burning on the grill. Prepare metal skewers without soaking.
5. Assemble Kabobs: Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, alternating pieces of chicken with bell peppers and onion wedges for a colorful presentation.
6. Cook the Kabobs: Grill skewers for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks. Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
7. Rest: Remove kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving to retain juiciness.
These steps will guarantee that your Greek Chicken Kabobs are juicy and bursting with flavor!
