Mediterranean Chicken & Veggie Shish Kabobs

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 15-20 minutes

Yields: 4 servings

Ingredients:

* For the marinade:

* 1/4 cup olive oil

* 2 tablespoons lemon juice

* 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

* 1 teaspoon dried oregano

* 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

* 1/4 teaspoon salt

* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

* For the kabobs:

* 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

* 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces

* 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

* 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

* 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

* 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved

Equipment:

* Skewers (metal or wooden)

* Large bowl

* Grill (gas or charcoal) or oven broiler

Instructions:

1. Make the marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

2. Marinate the chicken: Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.

3. Assemble the kabobs: Thread the chicken, onion, bell peppers, tomatoes, and olives onto skewers, alternating ingredients.

4. Cook the kabobs: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Grill the kabobs for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Alternatively, preheat oven broiler and broil kabobs for 5-7 minutes per side.

5. Serve: Serve the kabobs hot with your favorite sides, such as rice, couscous, or pita bread.

Tips:

* For a more flavorful marinade, use fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or basil instead of dried oregano.

* You can use other vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or red potatoes for your kabobs.

* If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading the food onto them to prevent them from burning.

* To prevent the chicken from drying out, brush it with the marinade or a little olive oil while grilling.

* You can also serve the kabobs with a dollop of tzatziki sauce or a side of hummus.

Enjoy!
