Greek Grilled Chicken Skewers
Juicy, Greek flavoured chicken skewers. An easy, flavourful recipe that everyone will love!
Equipment
- Food skewers
- Grill
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts,
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Greek seasoning
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp lemon pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Slice your two large chicken breasts in half to create 4 thinner breasts. Cube up the chicken into 1 inch pieces. Make sure the pieces are big enough to be put on the skewer. Add the pieces to a large bowl and set aside.
- In a small bowl, add extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, Greek seasoning, garlic powder, lemon pepper and salt. Mix well to combine. Add this mixture to the bowl of chicken, mix well, cover and set in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
- While the chicken is marinating, add the wood skewers to a baking dish and cover with water for about 30 minutes. If you are using metal skewers, you can skip this step.
- Once the chicken has marinated and the skewers have soaked, you can start assembling your skewers. Add 4-5 cubes of chicken to each skewer, keeping the chicken pieces close together but not squished.
- Preheat your barbecue to about 350F and scrape off any char or grime left over from your last grilling. Place the skewers on the grill, spaced a little bit apart to allow for thorough cooking. Grill for about 12-15 minutes or until chicken has cooked through, turning often, keeping the lid closed between flips.
- Serve immediately with your favourite side dishes. Pairs well with lemon rice and salad. Enjoy!
