Grilled Chicken Kebabs

It's the dead of winter and I am craving some grilled kebabs. I think that maybe it'll help put these winter blues at bay. It has been so cold out lately I can't stop thinking of sun and sand and fresh cut grass!! So with this in mind I started searching for a healthier recipe for Chicken Kebabs. I found a few recipes that seemed fairly decent but you know me...I don't follow just one recipe. So I got out my chicken and started chopping and throwing things together for a marinade. To my surprise, they turned out awesome!! I'll share it with you ;)


Grilled Chicken Kebabs
1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into chunks
2 tbsp olive oil
2-3 tbsp lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp oregano OR 1-2 tbsp Greek seasoning
pinch of sea salt and pepper

***Before you start you may want to grab some skewers and soak for a bit before threading meat onto them. ****

Toss all ingredients into a ziplock or freezer bag and place in refrigerator. I've also prepared this and than froze for a later meal. Once you are ready to cook, take out of the refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. Thread meat onto skewers and transfer to heated grill. Allow kebabs to cook 5-6 minutes and than flip and cook another 5 minutes. Meat should be cooked through with no pink left inside.

Serve with grilled vegetables (you can also alternate these on the skewers as well) and brown rice. I like bell peppers, onions and zucchini.
