This is a nice change from the ordinary grilled chicken. This is excellent served with pita bread, a garlicky tzatziki, and a Greek salad. Lamb can be substituted for the chicken, and many variations on vegetables can be used.

Tips:

For the best flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.
Use wooden skewers for the kabobs, as they will not burn as easily as metal skewers.
If you are using bamboo skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using, to prevent them from burning.
When grilling the kabobs, cook them over medium heat, so that they have time to cook through without burning.
Serve the kabobs with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tzatziki sauce, hummus, or tahini sauce.

Conclusion:

Marinated Greek chicken kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, then grilled to perfection. Serve the kabobs with your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy!
