Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the marinade
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the kabobs
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 8-10 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Method
 

  1. Whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  2. Add cubed chicken to the marinade, tossing until every piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours.
  3. While the chicken marinates, cut your vegetables into uniform pieces.
  4. Thread marinated chicken alternately with bell peppers, onion wedges, and cherry tomatoes onto soaked wooden skewers. Leave small gaps between pieces to allow heat circulation.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Cook kabobs for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes. The chicken is done when it reaches 165°F internally and shows beautiful grill marks.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before use. Can marinate chicken up to 8 hours for deeper flavor. Don't overcrowd pieces on skewers for even cooking. Chicken thighs can be substituted for extra juiciness. Can be baked in oven at 425°F for 15-18 minutes. Kabobs can be assembled 24 hours ahead. Refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months. Reheat in 350°F oven for best texture.
