I had Greek for for lunch today! I just love it &amp; love the flavors! These kabobs are so good &amp; juicy! I use them as my main dish!

I'm keeping this recipe! Mine turned out sooo good and I love the color of my kabobs! Perfectly cooked and seasoned!

Loved these chicken kabobs, the chicken was so tender and tasted amazing.

Just made these-fantastic recipe.  Thank you!

this was so so good! made it the other night. Tomorrow, having people over... and serving this dish! thank you so much for sharing. thank you so so much!!!

I used this recipe and two others, steak kabobs with garlic butter &amp; Watermelon Salad with Feta and Cucumber, from dinner at the zoo, for a recent family dinner.  Everything was gobbled up, would highly recommend this and those other recipes.  The marinade for the chicken was, *chef kiss*, so tasty and paired with the yogurt sauce, yummy-o.  I had picky young adults that tried the yogurt sauce and liked it!

This was a big hit at our house! Thanks! I will make again and try your other recipes.

I have made this 4 or 5 times now and I had to come back and thank you for posting this recipe.  It is so relatively easy and always a hit.  I haven't made the sauce (this is why I say relatively easy) only because Trader Joes has a tzadeki (yogurt cucumber sauce) we love so much so I take the easy way out.  I make the kabobs on my indoor grill, get some flat bread, lettuce, tomato, onions, chicken and tzadeki sauce to make a shwarma type sandwich, the veggies on the side (I kabob some zucchini and summer squash) and rice pilaf.  It is way better than the Greek restaurant we used to order from and paid $30 for same meal.  I suggest anyone making this use fresh lemon.  I made it once with real lemon in the bottle.  Fresh lemon far superior.  Thank You again!

Once you've made these you'll want to make them again and again!  I did!  Love this recipe.

Thanks! I ended up keeping the sauce as is and it was delicious with the kabobs! Thanks for the recipe :)

Hi! 
So I made these last night and both my husband and I just loved them.  One question, in the description of the sauce you said "cucumber,onion and herb" but I did not see any onion in the actual recipe so didn't add it.  Doesn't matter as it was just wonderful.  But I do think the added bite of the onion would be very good.  Can't wait to try your other recipes.  Thanks!

Beautiful healthy easy food.... my favorite!
