🔪 How to Make Greek Chicken Kebabs

Add the marinade ingredients to a small mixing bowl.

Whisk to combine.

Cut the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces and add them to a food storage container.

Pour ⅔ of the marinade over the top of the chicken. 

Reserve the other ⅓ of the marinade in the fridge to use with the veggies.

Toss to combine and marinate in the fridge for 1-3 hours.

Cut the veggies into bite-sized pieces, similar to the size of the chicken.

Place them into a bowl and pour the reserved marinade over the top. Toss to combine.

Take some of the chicken and each vegetable and thread them through your skewers, alternating each piece. 

Discard the marinade from the chicken, but reserve the leftover marinade from the veggies to brush over the skewers once they’re cooked.

Preheat your grill, then grill the skewers for 5-7 minutes on each side, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches at least 165°F when checked with a meat thermometer.

Brush the reserved marinade from the veggies over the tops of the skewers and sprinkle with the feta cheese and chopped fresh mint, then serve.

☑️ Storage Instructions

To store your Greek chicken kebobs, remove the chicken and vegetables from the skewers and place them in an airtight container. This makes them easier to handle and fit into the fridge. They will stay fresh for up to three days.

You can also freeze leftovers. Just transfer them to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to three months. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop when ready to enjoy.

🍴 What to Serve with Chicken Kabobs

The great thing about these kabobs is that they are an entire meal on stick. If you're looking for something extra to go with them, here are some great low-carb ideas:

• Tzatziki sauce: This creamy cucumber and yogurt sauce is low in carbs and perfect for dipping the kabobs.

• Salad: These kabobs are delicious served with a fresh salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, red onions, and feta cheese, dressed with olive oil and this balsamic reduction.

• Cauliflower Rice: A low-carb alternative to rice, cauliflower rice is the perfect side dish for these kabobs.

• Hummus: This roasted red pepper cauliflower hummus is amazing with Greek kabobs!

• Olives: Olives make a simple and flavorful side that pairs well with the Mediterranean flavors of the kebobs.

💡 Tips for Making Chicken Kebabs

• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent splintering or burning.

• Cut chicken and vegetables into equal-sized pieces for uniform cooking.

• Leave a small gap between each piece on the skewer to allow for even heat circulation and consistent cooking.

• Don't guess. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken kabobs reach 165°F without overcooking.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

• Veggies: Feel free to add other veggies like cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, eggplant, asparagus, and artichoke hearts.

• Proteins: Substitute the chicken with shrimp, lamb, or beef tenderloin for a different protein option.

• Other herbs: If you can’t find fresh mint, you can try using fresh basil or parsley instead.

• Creamy marinade: Add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt to the marinade for extra tenderness and a creamy texture.

• Spice: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade for a bit of heat.

Is it Kebab or Kabob?

It's both! "Kebab" is the original term that you'll see used in many Middle Eastern and Asian countries. "Kabob" is a variation of the word used mainly in the United States. Both are correct and can be used interchangeably.

Why is My Chicken Dry?

Overcooking can cause dry chicken. Use a meat thermometer to cook the chicken until it reaches 165°F. You may want to consider pulling the kabobs off the grill a few degrees early to let them finish cooking while resting.

Can I Use Chicken Thighs Instead?

Absolutely! Chicken thighs are often juicier and more flavorful, making them a great alternative for kabobs. Just cut them into equal-sized pieces for even cooking.

Can I Cook Kabobs in the Oven?

Sure. Preheat the oven to 400°F and bake the kabobs on a baking sheet for about 20–25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through.
