Ingredients

The Chicken and Marinade

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 4 large lemons (juiced, plus zest from one)
  • 4-5 cloves garlic (pressed or minced)
  • 2 tablespoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

The Vegetables

  • 1 medium red onion (quartered into 1-inch pieces)
  • 1 small zucchini (sliced into ¼ inch coins)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper (seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces)

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces and place them in a bowl or freezer bag.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken and reserve the other half for basting. Marinate for 30 minutes to 3 hours.
  4. Prepare the grill by lightly oiling the grate and setting it to medium-high heat.
  5. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10 minutes. Thread chicken and vegetables onto skewers, alternating them.
  6. Discard any marinade that had raw chicken in it.
  7. Grill the kebabs, basting with reserved marinade and turning often, until cooked through (about 10-15 minutes).
  8. Serve warm and refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days.
