Juicy and flavorful Grilled Mediterranean Chicken Kebabs marinated in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and spices make for a light, delicious and easy dinner.

Categories     Main Course

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 chicken fillets (cut in 1-inch cubes)
2 red bell peppers
2 green bell peppers
1 red onion
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (divided)
juice of 1 lemon (divided)
6 clove of garlic, chopped (divided)
2 teaspoon paprika (divided)
2 teaspoon thyme (divided)
4 teaspoon oregano (divided)
4 teaspoon salt (divided)
2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (divided)

Steps:

  • Mix 1/2 of all ingredients for the marinade in small bowl. Place chicken in a ziplock bag and pour marinade over it. Marinade in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  • Mix the other HALF of the ingredients in the same bowl pour into a ziplock bag with the vegetables. Marinade for at least 30 minutes.
  • If you are using wood skewers, while the chicken and veggies are marinating, soak the skewers in water for about 15 minutes. You need to soak wooden skewers in water for about 20- 30 minutes to keep them from igniting right there on the grill. I have also noticed that it's much easier to slide out the meat and veggies on your plate if the skewers have been soaked before grilling.
  • Thread the chicken and peppers and onions on the skewers. I usually place about 5-6 chicken pieces and a combo of peppers and onion in between.
  • Heat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan over medium-high heat. Spray the grates lightly with oil and grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the center is no longer pink.
  • You can also bake this Mediterranean chicken skewers in the oven if you want to. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Place chicken skewers on roasting racks over two foil-lined baking sheets and bake for about 10-15 minutes, turn over once and bake for another 10 - 15 minutes on the other side, or until they are baked through.

GRILLED CHICKEN KEBABS



Grilled Chicken Kebabs image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 scallions
1/4 cup packed fresh dill
1/4 cup packed fresh parsley
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the grill
Kosher salt
Pinch of red pepper flakes
8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 5 ounces each)
1 lemon, cut into 8 wedges
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup plain whole-milk yogurt

Steps:

  • Cut the white and light green parts of the scallions into 1 1/2-inch pieces; set aside. Chop the dark green parts and transfer to a blender. Add the dill, parsley, olive oil, 3 tablespoons water and 1/2 teaspoon salt and puree until smooth. Stir in the red pepper flakes. Remove 2 tablespoons of the puree to a small bowl for the sauce; refrigerate until ready to use. Transfer the remaining puree to a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Let marinate in the refrigerator at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Soak 8 wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent scorching. Preheat a grill to medium. Thread 2 chicken thighs onto double skewers, placing lemon wedges and scallion pieces between the thighs; season the kebabs generously with salt and pepper. Oil the grill grates. Grill the kebabs until the chicken is lightly charred and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.
  • Mix the yogurt with the reserved scallion puree and season with salt. Cut the chicken in half to separate each pair of skewers. Squeeze the grilled lemon over the chicken; serve with the yogurt sauce.

Tips:

  • To make sure your chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have wooden skewers, you can use metal skewers or even toothpicks.
  • To prevent the chicken from sticking to the skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • You can use any type of vegetables you like for your kebabs. Some popular options include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and zucchini.
  • If you're using a grill pan, make sure to preheat it over medium-high heat before cooking the kebabs.
  • To get nice grill marks on your chicken, cook it over direct heat for a few minutes per side.
  • If you're using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are hot before cooking the kebabs.
  • Serve your kebabs with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tzatziki sauce or hummus.

Conclusion:

Grilled chicken kebabs are a delicious and easy-to-make summer meal. They're perfect for a cookout or a weeknight dinner. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a flavorful and healthy meal that the whole family will enjoy. So fire up the grill and get started!
