I love making organic kabobs during the summer as they are quick, easy, healthy, and so delicious! With grilling season in full effect, these chicken kabobs are a light and easy dinner you can make on the grill. Even if you don't have a grill, you can still make these organic kabobs in a cast iron skillet indoors too!

I am one quarter Greek, so I love Mediterranean flavors and everything Greek! We ate Greek food frequently growing up, so these Greek Chicken Shish Kabobs are something I make all the time. The light flavors of Greek food are something I always crave during the summer months with fresh veggies, lemon zested chicken, and my Healthy Homemade Tzatziki Sauce!

Ingredients & Health Benefits

Chicken: I use organic chicken breasts, which are a lean meat with high protein.
Salt and Pepper: You'll need for seasoning.
Spices: I use a simple mix of garlic powder and dried oregano for Greek flavors with added nutrients.
Zucchini: I use organic zucchini which has vitamin C, potassium, vitamin K and more.
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.
Red Onion: I use organic red onion which is high in antioxidants. You can use yellow or white onion if you prefer.
Lemon: Organic lemons have vitamin C and antioxidants and give this dish a zesty flavor.
EVOO: I use organic extra virgin olive oil for flavor. This is also a healthy fat that's anti inflammatory!

Tools Needed

Cutting Board: You'll need a cutting board to cut up the veggies and chicken.
Knife: You'll need a sharp knife.
Skewers: You'll need large skewers for these kabobs.
Grill: I make these on the grill, but if you don't have a grill you can also do this in a cast iron skillet on the stove.

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

Cut the zucchini into 1-inch thick slices and cut in half, set aside.

Step 2

In a small dish, mix together the salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic powder. Set aside.

Step 3

Cut the chicken into 2-inch cubes.

Step 4

Skewer the chicken, zucchini, onion, and tomatoes, alternating each. Place on a platter.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.)

FAQ's

Can I use another kind of meat?

Yes! If you prefer to use steak you could use that instead. I would use a flank steak or skirt steak for this recipe and it would be delicious!

Can I use other veggies?

If you want you can, the ones I chose are more traditional in Greek cooking. But, you could substitute for yellow squash or white onions and it would be very similar.

What can I serve these with?

I love serving this recipe with my Organic Tzatziki Sauce. But my Lemon Tahini Hummus would also be a delicious dipping side dish! You could serve this with fresh bread like my Simple French Baguettes or even white rice or quinoa as well.
