Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized cubes (or vegetables of choice)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers
- Optional: Fresh parsley and lemon wedges for garnish
Directions
- Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the grill or oven: If grilling, set to medium-high heat. If using an oven, preheat to 400°F (200°C).
- Assemble the kebabs: Thread the marinated chicken (or vegetables) onto the skewers, leaving some space between pieces for even cooking.
- Grill or bake: Cook on the grill for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden and cooked through. If baking, roast for 15 minutes, flipping halfway.
