Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ – 2 lbs boneless & skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4 large garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ½ tablespoon dijon mustard
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, or ½ teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 medium red onion, cut into large chunks
- 2 large zucchini, 1 green and 1 yellow, sliced into ½ to 1-inch half moons
- 10 – 12 skewers, if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, and Dijon mustard to create the marinade.
- Add the chicken pieces, dried dill, oregano, salt, and pepper to the bowl and toss until well coated. Cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator for better flavor.
- Thread the marinated chicken, zucchini, and onion onto the skewers, alternating as you go until each skewer is filled.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning them every few minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Transfer the cooked skewers to a serving platter, garnish with fresh dill, and serve with tzatziki and lemon wedges.
Notes
Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
Adjust the amount of dried herbs to suit your taste.
Serve with a side of rice or salad for a complete meal.
