Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 large red onion cut into chunks
  • 1 large bell pepper cut into chunks

Instructions

  1. 1 In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, parsley, rosemary, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. 2 Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  3. 3 Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. 4 Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, alternating with chunks of red onion and bell pepper.
  5. 5 Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
  6. 6 Remove from the grill and let the skewers rest for a few minutes before serving.
  7. 7 Serve the skewers with a side of your favorite Mediterranean salad or a dollop of tzatziki sauce.
