  • 0.333333 cup olive oil for marinade
  • 0.25 cup lemon juice for marinade

  • 2 tbsp fresh oregano for marinade

  • 1 pepper and salt, for marinade
  • 1 Wooden skewers, soaked
  • 1 Tzatziki sauce for serving
  • 1 pita bread for serving
  • 1 lemon wedges for serving

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 grill

Method
 

Make the marinade
  1. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
  2. Pour the marinade over the cubed chicken breasts and ensure all pieces are coated.
Marinate
  1. Refrigerate the chicken to marinate for 4-8 hours until the flavors infuse.
Assemble the kabobs
  1. Thread the chicken and vegetable chunks onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between pieces.
Grill
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, then place kabobs on the grate and grill for 5-6 minutes per side until the chicken is cooked through.
Serve
  1. Serve the Greek chicken kabobs with tzatziki sauce, pita bread, and lemon wedges.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate the chicken in a shallow dish so the pieces sit in an even layer, and refrigerate the skewers until ready to grill. Store leftovers covered in the fridge up to 3 days; freeze cooked kabobs for up to 2 months (thaw overnight in the fridge). For a lighter option, use chicken breast as written but grill extra vegetables and serve with extra tzatziki and lemon instead of pita.
