Steps:
- Mix chicken, 2 tablespoons oil, garlic, mint, oregano, salt, and pepper in medium bowl. Let marinate 30 minutes. Whisk remaining 2 tablespoons oil and lemon juice in small bowl to blend.
- Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Pull off large mint leaves from stems. Alternate chicken, onion, and mint leaves on skewers; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until chicken is just cooked through, turning and basting occasionally with oil-lemon mixture, about 9 minutes. Serve Greek Salad alongside.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality chicken breasts or thighs. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- To make the marinade, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken to the bowl and turn to coat.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- When ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the chicken onto skewers and grill for 8-10 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- Serve the chicken kabobs with tzatziki sauce, pita bread, and a side of grilled vegetables.
