Steps:
- Combine 3/4 cup olive oil, the juice of 1 lemon, the paprika, dried mint, 1/2 teaspoon cumin and the red pepper flakes in a large bowl. Add the lamb and toss to coat; cover and refrigerate 1 to 4 hours.
- Preheat a grill to medium high and brush the grates with vegetable oil. Thread the lamb, eggplant, artichokes and olives onto eight 10-inch skewers; season with salt. Grill the kebabs, turning occasionally, until marked, about 10 minutes for medium.
- Meanwhile, make the yogurt dip: Puree the yogurt, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, juice of 1/2 lemon and1 teaspoon cumin, 2 tablespoons water, the chopped mint, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt in a blender until smooth; serve with the kebabs.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients. Fresh herbs, juicy lemons, and flavorful feta cheese will make all the difference.
- Don't overcrowd the skewers. Leave some space between the chicken pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts are very lean and can easily become dry. Cook them over medium heat until they are cooked through, but still juicy.
- Let the chicken rest before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Serve the chicken kebabs with a variety of dipping sauces. Tzatziki sauce, hummus, and mint-feta dip are all great options.
- Enjoy the chicken kebabs immediately. They are best when served fresh off the grill.
Conclusion:
Greek chicken kebabs are a delicious and easy-to-make summer meal. They are perfect for a backyard barbecue or a weeknight dinner. The juicy chicken is marinated in a flavorful blend of herbs, lemon, and olive oil, then grilled to perfection. The mint-feta dip adds a refreshing and creamy touch. These kebabs are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
