Description

Imagine sinking your teeth into succulent chicken, infused with the bright, sunny flavors of the Mediterranean. These kebabs, inspired by the vibrant cuisine of Greece, offer a delightful culinary escape with every bite. The secret lies in the aromatic blend of dried herbs, reminiscent of sun-drenched hillsides and fragrant gardens.

Each herb contributes its unique note, creating a symphony of flavors that dance on the palate. A generous squeeze of lemon juice adds a zesty tang, awakening the taste buds and perfectly complementing the savory chicken. The beauty of these kebabs is in their simplicity.

With minimal effort, you can create a dish that is both satisfying and impressive. The magic happens as the chicken marinates, absorbing the herbaceous flavors and becoming incredibly tender. The longer it sits, the more intense and delicious the kebabs become, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen.

Whether you choose to thread the chicken onto skewers with colorful vegetables like bell peppers and red onion, or simply bake them on a sheet pan, the result is a visually appealing and appetizing meal. The aroma that fills your kitchen as these kebabs bake is simply irresistible, promising a delightful culinary experience. Baking these kebabs makes them a versatile option for any time of year.

No need to fire up the grill – simply pop them in the oven and let the heat work its magic. The result is perfectly cooked chicken that is juicy and flavorful, with a slightly caramelized exterior. Serve these Greek-inspired chicken kebabs with a dollop of creamy yogurt sauce, a side of fluffy rice, or a fresh Greek salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

They are also wonderful as a light lunch or a flavorful appetizer. Prepare to be transported to the sunny shores of Greece with this easy and delicious recipe. The combination of savory chicken, aromatic herbs, and bright lemon creates a truly unforgettable flavor experience.

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 390 degrees Fahrenheit and line a shallow oven tray with baking paper.

    Add the yoghurt, oil, lemon juice, garlic and herbs and spices to a large mixing bowl. Season well and stir to combine.

    Cut the onion into 6 wedges and slice the zucchini into 12 even discs.
    4.
    Add the diced chicken and vegetables to the yoghurt marinade and stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated. Cover and marinade in the fridge for 1 hour.

    Remove the chicken and vegetables from the fridge and start threading alternating chicken and vegetables onto each skewer. There will be one onion wedge and 2 zucchini discs per skewer.
    7.
    Arrange the skewers side by side on the lined oven tray and pour over any remaining marinade.
