Greek Chicken Skewers image

Marinate chicken breast cubes and vegetables in a blend of garlic, fresh dill, lemon, and olive oil for super-juicy, flavorful grilled skewers.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1/4 cup freshly chopped dill
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
4 teaspoons Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/3 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
2 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed
1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large red pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
Tzatziki sauce, store-bought or homemade

Steps:

In a large bowl whisk the first 7 ingredients. Pour it into a large ziploc bag and add the cubed chicken and vegetables and toss everything well so the chicken is completely covered with the marinade. Refrigerate the chicken this way for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
When you are ready to cook the chicken heat the grill to medium flame. Place the chicken on skewers. Place them on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes per side, about 10 to 12 minutes total. Make sure the chicken is cooked through. Serve warm with a side of tzatziki sauce.

Tips:

Choose the Right Chicken: For the best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces for even cooking.
Marinate the Chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices helps to tenderize and flavor the meat. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
Skewer the Chicken: Use metal or wooden skewers to thread the chicken pieces. Be sure to leave a little space between the chicken pieces so that they cook evenly.
Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken skewers for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through. Baste the chicken with the remaining marinade while grilling.
Serve with Dipping Sauce: Serve the chicken skewers with a flavorful dipping sauce, such as tzatziki sauce, hummus, or a simple vinaigrette.
