Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For the best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Make sure the marinade has enough time to work its magic: The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be. Aim to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, but up to overnight is even better.
  • Don't overcrowd the skewers: When threading the chicken onto the skewers, leave a little space between each piece so that they cook evenly. If the skewers are too crowded, the chicken will steam rather than grill.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. Cook the chicken for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Greek lemon chicken kabobs pair well with rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Greek lemon chicken kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight meal. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and herbs, then grilled to perfection. Serve the chicken kabobs with your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
