Ingredients
For the chicken kabobs:
- 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 lemon, zested
For the quick tzatziki sauce:
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup mini cucumber, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon shallot, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together all of the marinade ingredients until combined.
- Add the chicken to a large bowl or plastic storage bag and pour the marinade over to coat all of the chicken completely. Refrigerate in the marinade for at least 1 hour and up to 6-8 hours in advance.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Evenly slide the chicken pieces onto your skewers, discarding the remaining marinade.
- Grill the chicken kabobs for 8-10 minutes before flipping and grilling for another 8-10 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 165 degrees is reached.
- Serve with a side of the quick tzatziki sauce, pita bread and lemon wedges.
