A delightful twist on a classic Greek-inspired dish, perfect for a flavorful and healthy meal.
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
Cutting the chicken into uniform pieces ensures even cooking.
In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, juice from the lemons, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Taste the marinade and adjust the seasoning to your preference before adding the chicken.
Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Marinating the chicken for longer enhances the flavor.
Soak the skewers in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Use metal skewers if available to avoid the soaking step.
Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of onion and bell pepper.
Leave a small gap between pieces on the skewer to allow even cooking.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Ensure the grill is hot before placing the skewers to achieve a good sear.
Grill the skewers, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred, about 10-12 minutes.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serve the skewers hot with your choice of sides, such as tzatziki sauce and pita bread.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill for added flavor and presentation.
