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 until evenly coated. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
- Thread the zucchini, onion, and chicken onto the skewers, alternating ingredients until each skewer is full.
- Heat your grill to medium-high or high heat and lightly oil the grates.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes total, turning every few minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Transfer to a serving platter and top with fresh dill. Serve with tzatziki, lemon wedges, and your favorite sides.
Notes
Marinating the chicken overnight will enhance its flavor and tenderness.
Make sure to soak wooden skewers to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Serve with tzatziki sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
