Optional: Tzatziki dip
# Instructions:
01 -
Submerge wooden skewers in a shallow container of water for 10-15 minutes to stop them from burning.
02 -
Slice chicken breasts or thighs into medium chunks about 1 to 1-½ inches long.
03 -
In a small dish, combine rosemary, parsley, cinnamon, thyme, oregano, basil, onion powder, garlic powder, dill, pepper, and salt.
04 -
In a big bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of oil, the lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of the seasoning blend. Toss the chicken in and cover it well, letting it sit for 15 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
05 -
Dice onion and bell peppers into chunks about 1 to 1-½ inches across. Toss them in a big bowl with 1 tablespoon of oil and the leftover seasoning mix.
06 -
Thread the chicken and veggies alternately onto the skewers. You should end up with around 8 skewers.
07 -
Set your grill to medium to medium-high. Lay kabobs on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes. Turn them every couple of minutes for even cooking. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken hits 165°F (74°C).
08 -
Sprinkle parsley on top and serve with tzatziki sauce if you like.
# Notes:
01 -
Calorie count is based on one skewer without tzatziki.
02 -
You can make the Greek spice mix and tzatziki dip up to 2 days in advance.
03 -
Cut veggies and chicken the day before, but don't marinate early.
04 -
Put the kabobs together up to a day ahead.
