Greek Chicken Kebab
Tender, lemony chicken skewers with grape tomatoes for a bright, quick Greek-style grill.
Servings: 3 people
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons lemon peel finely shredded
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon parsley leaves finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1.5 lb chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces (750 g)
- 1 cup grape tomatoes
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded lemon peel, lemon juice, chopped parsley, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper; whisk until emulsified.
- Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat with the marinade; let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes.
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces and grape tomatoes onto metal skewers, alternating pieces as desired.
- Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat. Place the skewers on the grill and baste occasionally with any remaining marinade.
- Grill the skewers until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred on both sides, about 3–4 minutes per side depending on heat and piece size.
- Remove skewers from the grill and serve immediately.
