Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ – 2 lbs boneless & skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4 large garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ½ tablespoon dijon mustard
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, or ½ teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 medium red onion, cut into large chunks
- 2 large zucchini, 1 green and 1 yellow, sliced into ½ to 1-inch half moons
- 10 – 12 skewers, if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, and Dijon mustard to create the marinade.
- Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, along with dried dill, oregano, salt, and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
- Cover the bowl and marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
- Thread the marinated chicken, zucchini, and onion onto the skewers, alternating between the ingredients.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high or high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning every few minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Transfer the kebabs to a serving platter and garnish with fresh dill. Serve with tzatziki, lemon wedges, and side dishes of your choice.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
Use metal skewers for easy grilling; if using wooden skewers, soak them in water beforehand to prevent burning.
Serve with a side of Greek salad or pita for a complete meal.
