Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 1.5 to 2 pounds Chicken breast, boneless and skinless Trim fat and cut into even, bite-size chunks.
  • 3 to 4 cloves Garlic, minced Fresh garlic gives the best punch.
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup Lemon juice, from 1 to 2 lemons Fresh-squeezed is bright and floral, save the zest for extra aroma.
  • 2 teaspoons Dried oregano Use Greek oregano if possible, otherwise double the amount of fresh oregano.
  • 1/3 cup Olive oil A good extra virgin olive oil rounds out the marinade.
For the Kabobs
  • 1 medium Red onion Peel and cut into wedges.
  • 2 to 3 total Bell peppers, mixed colors Use a mix of red, yellow, and green.
  • 1 medium Zucchini Slice into half-moons or rounds about 1/2 inch thick.
For Serving
  • 3 cups Rice, cooked Long-grain or basmati works well.
  • 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt Full-fat for richness or low-fat for a lighter bowl.
  • 1 cup Tzatziki sauce Store-bought or homemade.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine garlic, lemon juice, oregano, and olive oil to make the marinade. Whisk until well blended.
  2. Cut chicken into chunks and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
  3. Chop the red onion, bell peppers, and zucchini into bite-size pieces, keeping them uniform for even cooking.
Assembly and Cooking
  1. Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto skewers, alternating between them, leaving space between pieces.
  2. Grill the skewers over medium-high heat for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through.
  3. Serve the kabobs over a bed of rice with a side of yogurt tzatziki.

Notes

Serve family-style on a large platter, letting everyone pick their skewer. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat kabobs in the oven, on the stovetop, or in the microwave.
