Ingredients
– 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 1/4 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 teaspoons dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create delicious Greek Marinated Chicken Kabobs:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the cubed chicken to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
3. Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, skip this step.
4. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. You can also use a grill pan if you prefer cooking indoors.
5. Assemble the Kabobs: Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, and onion onto the skewers, alternating between the chicken and vegetables.
6. Grill the Kabobs: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
7. Check for Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
8. Remove from Grill: Once cooked, remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
