Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Chicken Thighs
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 1/4 cup Lemon Juice
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 2 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 pint Cherry Tomatoes
  • 1 medium Cucumber
  • 1/2 medium Red Onion

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the 1.5 lbs of Chicken Thighs into 1-inch cubes.
  2. 2In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup Olive Oil, 1/4 cup Lemon Juice, 4 cloves of Garlic (minced), 2 tsp Dried Oregano, 1 tsp Salt, and 1/2 tsp Black Pepper. This is your marinade.
  3. 3Add the 1.5 lbs of cubed Chicken Thighs to the marinade and toss until every piece is coated. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
  4. 4While the chicken marinates, prepare the vegetables. Cut the 1 medium Cucumber into 1-inch pieces. Cut the 1/2 medium Red Onion into 1-inch pieces. Leave the 1 pint of Cherry Tomatoes whole.
  5. 5Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, alternating them with the 1 pint of Cherry Tomatoes, 1-inch pieces of Cucumber, and 1-inch pieces of Red Onion. Aim to fill each skewer evenly.
  6. 6Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This is about 400-450°F (200-230°C).
  7. 7Place the assembled skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping them every few minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and has light char marks. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
  8. 8Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute within the chicken, making it more tender.
