Servings: 6
Equipment
- Metal grilling skewers
Ingredients
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup Extra-virgin olive oil divided
- 4 cloves garlic minced (about 4 teaspoons) and divided
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 ½ teaspoons Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 ½pounds), cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 red bell peppers cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large red onion
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together yogurt, ¼ cup of the oil, 1 tablespoon of the garlic, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, and pepper flakes if using. Stir in the chicken. Cover with a sheet of plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours and up to 6 hours. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ¼ cup of oil, the remaining teaspoon of garlic, basil, and lemon juice. Cover and refrigerate while the chicken is marinating.
- Trim the ends from the onion and cut into quarters. Peel away the first 3 outer layers; reserve the inner core for another use. Slice each quarter into 3 strips. Slice each strip into 3, 1-inch pieces.
- Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for direct heat cooking.
- Remove the chicken from the yogurt marinade; discard the marinade. Thread each skewer with 2 pieces of pepper, 1 piece of onion, 2 pieces of chicken, and 1 piece of onion. Repeat twice more, ending with 2 additional pieces of pepper. Grill over high heat until the vegetables and chicken are charred on all sides and the chicken is cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving platter and brush kebabs all over with the lemon dressing. Enjoy!
