Equipment

Skewers

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut 1 inch pieces
  • 1 large onion
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 2 green peppers
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tbsp fresh basil chopped
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp pepper

Instructions
 

  • Chopped vegetables into 1 inch pieces and place in large bowl.
  • In a separate bowl add the chicken.
  • Make the marinade by mixing together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs and spices. Pour half of the marinade in the bowl with the chicken and the other half in the veggie bowl. Mix, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a least 2 hours or overnight, stirring every couple hours to allow all the flavors to incorporate.
  • When ready, thread chicken and veggies on a skewer. (Note: if using wooden skewers soak them in water for a 1/2 an hour before use)
  • Place kebabs on a preheated grill and cook for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.
  • Before serving squeeze some additional lemon juice on kebabs.

Notes

Serve with grilled pita bread and a side of Tzatziki Sauce
