Greek Grilled Chicken Kabobs are an easy recipe with fresh flavors — a simple way to make a healthy meal that’s delicious too. 

The slightly charred chicken will whisk you away to the Mediterranean coast, surrounded by a dazzling sea view. Dip your kabobs in a cucumber tzatziki sauce for a refreshing, tangy complement to the tender chicken. 

Enjoy with olives, hummus, pita…or any other Greek side that strikes your fancy. 

Paradise in each bite. 

Greek Chicken Ingredients

Chicken breast (cubed)

Boneless, skinless chicken breast works great. You can also use chicken thighs if you prefer dark meat for your Greek chicken kabobs. 

Extra virgin olive oil

Avocado oil also works. The oil keeps the chicken moist and enhances the flavors of the dish.

Dried herbs

A mix of oregano, dill, and thyme creates a classic Greek flavor.

Lemon zest

Lemon zest adds a bright, citrusy note to the Greek chicken marinade.

Garlic

Salt & pepper

Quick Tzatziki Sauce Ingredients

Greek yogurt

Creamy, tangy yogurt forms the base for this tzatziki sauce. Sour cream can also be used!

Cucumbers

Chopped cucumbers add a refreshing taste to the sauce. Grab the mini cucumbers for ease!

Shallot

A little sweetness and depth take the sauce to a whole new level.

Dill

Use fresh dill if you have it! To prep fresh dill, rinse the sprigs and remove the leaves from the stem. Chop your dill if you want the leaves smaller. 

Salt & pepper to taste 

Kabob Pro Tip

You can use either metal or wooden skewers. 

If you use wooden skewers, make sure you soak them in water an hour before cooking so you don’t burn the skewer. Soak the skewers in your favorite type of wine for more flavor! 

What do you serve with Greek chicken kabobs?

So. Many. Options. And all of them are delicious. Here are some ideas to start:

Serve with grilled veggies.

I love to serve these Greek kabobs with a side of grilled vegetables such as zucchini. You can also add veggies onto the skewers. Some ideas:

• Zucchini
• Bell peppers
• Red onions
• Cherry tomatoes
• Mushrooms

Serve as a Greek platter. 

You can’t go wrong with a scrumptious Greek platter. Display everything beautifully on a board or large plate, including ingredients like:

• Hummus
• Pita slices
• Olives
• Cubed feta
• Cherry tomatoes
• Cucumbers
• Thinly sliced red onions

Give everything a drizzle of olive oil and a dash of salt and pepper for added flavor. 

Add some carbs.

Rice. Pita chips. Pita bread. You can never go wrong with some delicious carbs. You could also serve the chicken as a Greek chicken sandwich on top of pita. 

Serve on a salad.

Make this into a Greek salad with grilled chicken. Toss up some spinach with a simple Greek salad dressing or balsamic vinaigrette. Then add the chicken, crumbled feta, and your favorite veggies (tomatoes, cucumber, onions, and more). Crumble up some pita chips on top for an added crunch.
