Why You'll Love This Recipe

• Mediterranean Flavor: With garlic, oregano, onion, and tomatoes, these chicken kabobs have big, bold Mediterranean flavor!
• Flexible: I make these Greek Chicken Shish Kabobs on the grill, but if you don’t have a grill, I also provide instructions for making in your cast iron or grill skillet.
• Appetizer or Dinner: I love serving these Greek Chicken Shish Kabobs with my Organic Tzatziki Sauce With Fresh Dill. But you can serve them plain, with BBQ sauce, or with Lemon Tahini Hummus as well! These can be an appetizer for a party or a delicious dinner.
• Organic Kabobs: I love making organic kabobs at home because they are quick, simple, and healthy when made with organic ingredients!

Ingredients

• Chicken: I use organic chicken breasts, which are a lean meat and great for a kabob like this as they will grill up tender and juicy.
• Spices: I use a simple mix of garlic powder and dried oregano for Greek flavors.
• Grape Tomatoes: I use organic grape tomatoes as they small and easy to skewer. These are a better option than cherty tomatoes in my opinion as cherry tomatoes are sweeter.
• Tzatziki Sauce: I prefer to make homemade Organic Tzatziki Sauce with Fresh Dill, but you can use store bought as well.

Tips for Grilled Chicken Shish Kabobs With Tzatziki Sauce

• Use chicken breasts, these are the best for kabobs as they are plump, lean meat that will result in juicy and tender bites.
• I use grape tomatoes as opposed to cherry tomatoes as grape tomatoes have a thicker skin and lower water content. This makes them ideal for grilling.
• I prefer to make homemade Organic Tzatziki Sauce with Fresh Dill, but you can use store bought as well.
• You can also serve this Lemon Rosemary Sourdough Bread for a more complete meal.

How to Make Grilled Greek Chicken Shish Kabobs With Tzatziki Sauce

1. In a small dish, mix together the salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic powder. Set aside. Cut the zucchini into 1-inch thick slices and cut in half, set aside. Cut the onion into 1 to 2-inch pieces.

2. Cut the chicken into 2-inch cubes. Skewer the chicken, zucchini, onion, and tomatoes, alternating each. Place on a platter.

3. Using a pastry brush, brush the skewers with the olive oil and sprinkle the spice mix on top and rotate to season each side. Squeeze lemon juice over the tops.

4. Heat grill to high, about 350°F to 400°F. Place kabobs on the grill and cover. Cook for about 3 minutes, rotate, and continue to do that until all sides have been grilled. Heat until internal temperature is 165°F. (Alternatively if you’re not grilling, preheat the oven to 400°F. Heat a cast iron skillet to medium/high. Add kabobs and sear each side. Transfer to the oven and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until internal temperature is 165°F.)
