Ingredients

• 2 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.25 cup Lemon juice
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 Red onion, cut into wedges
• 1 Red bell pepper, cut into chunks
• 1 Yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
• 12 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 8 Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into roughly 1-inch cubes.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and mix well to ensure each piece is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of red onion, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Step 8

Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the kebabs warm, either on their own or with a side of Mediterranean-style salad or couscous.
