Hey there, flavor fanatics! Today, we're taking a culinary trip to the sun-soaked shores of Greece. We're talking juicy, marinated chicken breast pieces, skewered and grilled to perfection. Yes, you guessed it – we're making Greek Chicken Kebabs! These bad boys are packed with herbs, lemon, and garlic, giving you a bite that's bursting with Mediterranean magic. Let’s get our Greek on!
Ingredients
For the Marinade):
1 1/4 cups olive oil
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3 large lemons)
10 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup fresh oregano, chopped (or 1/3 cup dried oregano)
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
3 tbsp paprika
3 tbsp ground cumin
1.5 tbsp salt
1 1/2 tbsp black pepper
For the Kebabs:
5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 large onions, cut into wedges
Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden, soak them in water for 30 minutes before using)
Directions
Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, parsley, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Make sure everything is well combined and fragrant.
Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken cubes to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, but preferably 2 hours. If you can let it marinate overnight, even better – the flavors will be even more intense.
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using an oven, preheat to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Assemble the Kebabs: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of onion. Pack them tight, but not too tight – you want everything to cook evenly.
Grill the Kebabs: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. If using the oven, bake for 20-25 minutes, turning once, until the chicken is fully cooked and the onions are tender.
Serve: Remove the kebabs from the grill (or oven) and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve them hot, garnished with extra lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
Greek It Up!
