The Greek posts continue. Greek food is so flavorful, yet easy to make. This recipe for Greek Chicken Kabobs has so much flavor and 7 ingredients for the marinade – 4 of those ingredients are the spices. So this is an easy recipe to put together. But just because this dish was easy to assemble, does not mean it was not tasty. The best thing about this marinade was the beautiful char it created when cooked on the outdoor grill.

- 1 cup fat-free Greek yogurt

and transfer to a marinading vessel. Cut chicken into chunks to prepare for the kabobs. Put the chicken into the marinade and leave in fridge overnight.
Chicken in Marinade
Remove chicken from yogurt marinade. Before making the skewers, soak the skewers in water for at least an hour. Thread each skewer alternating between the chicken, peppers and onions. Finish the skewer with one of the tomatoes on the end.
Chicken on Skewers
Grill over medium heat until vegetables are tender and chicken is no longer pink, turning every few minutes, about 15 minutes total.
Chicken on Grill
Let rest for 3 – 5 minutes after grilling.
Serve and enjoy!
The recipe calls for ‘3 tablespoons lemon juice’ but it does not state what this is used for. Does this go in the marinade?
Thx for catching that. I updated the recipe to show that the lemon juice was part of the marinade.
OK, you’re welcome …. and thanks for the update.
These look awesome! I love grilled onions. What an amazing touch!
Thx Kirsten.
I love Greek flavors and all of the ingredients here sound so yummy together. With spring around the corner, I’m getting in a kebob/grilling mood!
I am totally with you on pulling out the grill!
Keep the greek recipes coming! This looks delicious! Do you make the pita bread yourself??
I am not sure I have made pita from scratch but check out my pita chips. A semi-homemade recipe and so good.
I made a dry rub with ingredients similar to this recipe. But I love what you did with you recipe as a yogurt marinade. I will have to try this method you have shared with us. Thanks so much! Look great! Pinning for my next grill showdown!
I don’t do it often but the yogurt marinade is great for grilling. Just got to remember to do it more often.
I adore Greek food, and we’re having perfect grilling weather right now, so I have to try this. Looks wonderful!
Please send me a pic if you do.
