Souvlaki di Pollo con Verdure (Chicken Souvlaki with Vegetables)
Savor the taste of Greece tonight with delicious BBQ chicken and colorful veggies!
Start by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes and place them in a bowl.
Add the olive oil, oregano, crushed garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the chicken. Mix well to coat everything evenly and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, wash and chop the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into similar-sized pieces.
After marinating, skewer the chicken and vegetables onto skewers, alternating between chicken and veggies for balance in flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the skewers and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.
Once cooked, remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes. Serve warm with a side of tzatziki or over rice.
