Grilled Mediterranean Chicken Kebabs
What you need:
Chicken Kebabs
3 chicken filets, diced in 1-inch cubes
2 red bell peppers
2 green bell peppers
1 red onion - I replace this with carrots or zuchinni
Marinade (for chicken & veggies)
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
juice of 1 lemon, divided
6 clove of garlic (minced), divided
2 tsp paprika, divided
2 tsp thyme, divided
4 tsp oregano, divided
Preparation
Marinade
Mix one HALF of all ingredients for the marinade in small bowl. Place chicken in a ziplock bag and pour marinade over it. Marinade in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Mix the other HALF of the ingredients in the same bowl pour in zip lock bag with the vegetables. Marinade for at least 30 minutes.
If you are using wood skewers, while the chicken and veggies are marinating, soak the skewers in water for about 15 minutes. You need to soak wooden skewers in water for about 20- 30 minutes to keep them from igniting right there on the grill. I have also noticed that it’s much easier to slide out the meat and veggies on your plate if the skewers have been soaked before grilling.
Thread the chicken and veggies on the skewers. I usually place about 5-6 chicken pieces, and a combo of veggies in between.
Heat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan over medium-high heat. Spray the grates lightly with oil and grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the center is no longer pink.
Serve these grilled Mediterranean chicken kebabs with your favorite side. It goes wonderful with a big salad or baked sweet potato fries or slices. Hope you enjoy this easy and delicious summer meal!
