Greek Island Chicken Skewers
Ingredients
-
¼ cup olive oil
-
¼ cup lemon juice
-
¼ cup white vinegar
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 teaspoon ground cumin
-
1 teaspoon dried oregano
-
½ teaspoon dried thyme
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
-
6 wooden skewers
-
2 large green or red bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
-
1 large onion, quartered and separated into pieces
-
12 cherry tomatoes
-
12 fresh mushrooms
Instructions
-
In a large glass or ceramic bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, cumin, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to marinate.
-
While the chicken is marinating, soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
-
Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
-
Once marinated, remove the chicken from the bowl and shake off any excess marinade. Discard the remaining marinade. Thread the chicken onto skewers, alternating with pieces of bell pepper, onion, tomatoes, and mushrooms.
-
Grill the skewers, turning frequently, until the chicken is cooked through, browned on all sides, and the center is no longer pink. This should take about 10 minutes. The internal temperature should reach at least 165°F (74°C).
