Description
These Mediterranean-inspired grilled chicken kabobs are perfect for summer cookouts or quick weeknight meals. By marinating chicken breast in a savory, aromatic Greek yogurt blend, you ensure the meat remains succulent and tender throughout the grilling process. Paired with fresh, colorful bell peppers and red onions, this healthy, lean protein dish provides a beautiful charred crust and a juicy interior that makes every home cook look like a professional grill master.
Ingredients
1.5 lbs Chicken breasts, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
0.5 cup Plain full-fat Greek yogurt
2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp Smoked paprika
2 Large bell peppers, chopped into 1.5-inch pieces
1 Large red onion, cut into wedges
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and smoked paprika.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss until evenly coated.
Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow flavors to develop.
Soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes before use if not using metal ones.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, and red onions onto the skewers in an alternating pattern.
Place skewers on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and charred on the edges.
Notes
Ensure you cut the chicken and vegetables into uniform sizes to promote even cooking. Soaking wooden skewers prevents them from burning on the grill. You can add extra herbs like dried oregano for a more authentic Mediterranean flavor profile.
