chicken kabob

This grilled chicken kabob recipe pairs juicy chicken with a rainbow of vegetables and a Mediterranean-inspired marinade. A summer favorite!

Chicken Kabobs

chicken breasts (about 2 large breasts)

olive oil

red wine vinegar

honey

garlic (minced)

oregano

thyme rosemary

salt

black pepper

small red onion

zucchini

summer squash (ends

red bell pepper

Canola oil (for grilling)

lemon

herbs

feta cheese

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces and place in a large ziptop bag, shallow baking dish, or bowl.

Whisk

In a separate bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, honey, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.

Marinate

Pour over the chicken and stir to coat (or seal the bag, removing as much air as possible, and “squish” to coat). Place in the refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes or up to 3 hours (do not let the chicken sit for longer or the vinegar will cause it to break down). If using wooden skewers, place the skewers in water to soak for at least 20 minutes.

Preheat

When ready to grill, preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375℉).  Brush the grill grates with canola oil or coat with nonstick grill spray.

Thread

Thread the kabobs: Thread a piece of chicken onto the skewer (shake off the excess marinade when removing it from the bag. Add alternating pieces of the red onion, zucchini, yellow squash, and red bell pepper until you&#039;ve reached the end of the skewer, ending with chicken. Repeat with the remaining skewers, then discard the excess chicken marinade.

Grill

Grill the chicken until fully cooked through and the juices run clear, about 10 to 15 minutes, turning the skewers every few minutes so that each side has grill marks. Transfer to a serving plate and squeeze the lemon over the top. Sprinkle with fresh herbs and feta. Serve warm.

Juicy chicken and colorful vegetables threaded onto skewers and grilled to perfection! The easy Greek marinade gives them irresistible Mediterranean flavor.

These Grilled Chicken Shish Kabobs are flavorful &amp; easy to make! The chicken is marinated with bright Mediterranean spices on a skewer with fresh veggies.

Grilled Chicken Kabobs

½ pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into large bite-sized pieces)

lemon (juiced)

garlic

paprika

cumin

cinnamon

onion

bell peppers

vegetable oil (for greasing the grill)

parsley (for serving)

In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Add the chicken pieces to the mixture and mix well to combine. Allow the chicken to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, and grease the grill with vegetable oil.

When ready to grill, thread the chicken onto the skewers, with the vegetables in between the chicken kabobs. Pour any leftover marinade on top of the chicken kabobs. Makes 6-9 skewers.

Grill the chicken kabobs until fully cooked and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes, turning the skewers every couple minutes to allow for even cooking.

Remove the chicken from the grill and serve with Lebanese rice or any other sides, if desired.

Delicious recipe! I made this on the grill and the flavor was fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

Love your recipes!  After marinading the chicken for the chicken kebabs recipe, is there anything that can be done with the leftover marinade?    It would be great to be able to cook it somehow so that it could be safely spooned over the chicken or over rice.  the other option would be to just make more and don't add the chicken.

thank you  James in Canada

Made these for dinner tonight and they were delicious.  Great flavour and an easy meal. Will definitely make them again.

This marinade is a keeper. After marinating chicken thighs for nine hours today we just polished off 2 chicken and vegetable grilled kabobs each. The flavor combination from the spices was absolutely outstanding! Saved one skewer (although it was hard not to devour) for leftovers tomorrow night to slide into a pita. We are foodies and feel really, really good that we were lucky enough to find our favorite marinade ever. Thank you!

I made this as part of my menu for a 90th birthday party.  We had 20 people with the youngest feign 16 and the oldest 90 and Everyone loved it!

I brought my 90 year old bonus mom out of assisted living to have a surprise party. Day later she is talking about the chicken and how much she liked it. 

Thank you for helping me make her birthday special.

Delicious marinade. The cinnamon is a great addition.

I made this dish for the first time yesterday and it was a hit! Thank you!
