Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 medium, sliced into wedges red onion
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes
• 1 large, cut into chunks red bell pepper
• 1 large, sliced cucumber
• 0.5 cup kalamata olives
• 4 ounces, crumbled feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 8 pieces wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 4

Pour the marinade over the chicken chunks and mix well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked skewers, alternating with slices of red onion, cherry tomatoes, and red bell pepper chunks.

Step 7

Grill the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char.

Step 8

While the kebabs are grilling, prepare the salad base. Place cucumber slices, remaining red onion slices, kalamata olives, and any leftover cherry tomatoes and bell peppers in a large salad bowl.

Step 9

Once the kebabs are done, carefully remove the chicken and vegetables from the skewers and add them to the salad bowl.

Step 10

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley on top of the salad.

Step 11

Toss everything gently to combine, ensuring the salad is well mixed.

Step 12

Serve immediately while the kebabs are warm for an optimal Mediterranean dining experience.
