Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts Provides a lean, protein-packed base.
  • 1/4 cup olive oil Adds healthy fats and helps the marinade stick.
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice Brightens the dish, enhancing flavor and tenderness.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Offers robust flavor and aroma.
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano Brings an aromatic herbal note.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Essential for enhancing all flavors.
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Adds a slight kick.
  • Skewers (wooden or metal) Used for grilling the chicken pieces.
  • Lemon wedges (for serving) Adds freshness to the finished dish.
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional) Enhances presentation and can add flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl to create the marinade.
  2. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Ensure all pieces are well coated.
  3. Cover and refrigerate the chicken for at least 30 minutes or up to 6 hours.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving space between each piece.
  3. Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
  4. Serve the kabobs with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a splash of honey to the marinade. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Can be frozen for up to 3 months.
