Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ – 2 lbs boneless & skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4 large garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ½ tablespoon dijon mustard
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, or ½ teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 medium red onion, cut into large chunks
- 2 large zucchini, 1 green and 1 yellow, sliced into ½ to 1-inch half moons
- 10 – 12 skewers, if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, and Dijon mustard. Add the chicken, dried dill, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat and let marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
- Thread the zucchini, onion, and chicken onto the skewers, alternating the ingredients until each skewer is filled.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly grease the grates.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Transfer the skewers to a serving platter, garnish with fresh dill, and serve with tzatziki and lemon wedges.
Notes
Soak wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Feel free to add other fresh vegetables like bell peppers or cherry tomatoes for more variety.
Marinating overnight enhances the flavors even more.
