Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
- Place the chicken chunks in a ziplock bag or shallow dish, and pour half of the marinade over the chicken. Toss to coat evenly, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours) to marinate.
- Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating the ingredients.
- Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred and tender.
- Remove the skewers from the grill and brush them with the remaining marinade.
- Serve the Mediterranean Chicken and Vegetable Skewers hot with a side of couscous or a fresh salad.
Service Suggestion
- Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.
- Pair with a glass of chilled Sauvignon Blanc for a perfect wine pairing.
Notes
- Serve the skewers with a side of tzatziki sauce or hummus for dipping.
- For a complete Mediterranean meal, serve with warm pita bread and a Greek salad.
