Yessss let’s skewer that flavor all the way to the Mediterranean 🌊🔥🐔
Mediterranean Chicken Skewers are juicy, herby, zesty, and practically scream sunshine and summer vibes. They’re perfect for the grill, stovetop, or even the oven. And they pair with literally everything — hummus, pita, salad, rice, tzatziki… we love a versatile queen.
🍢 Mediterranean Chicken Skewers Recipe
For the chicken + marinade:
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into 1.5” chunks
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon 🍋
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp cumin
- Salt & pepper
- Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes or a spoon of plain Greek yogurt (for extra tender chicken)
Let it marinate for 30 mins–4 hrs — the longer the better!
🔥 How to Cook:
Skewer it up on soaked wooden or metal skewers, alternating with:
- Red onion
- Cherry tomatoes
- Bell peppers
- Zucchini rounds
Grill or Bake:
- Grill: 10–12 mins over medium-high heat, turning every few mins
- Oven: 425°F (220°C) for 20–25 mins, flipping halfway
- Stovetop: Sear in a grill pan for ~10 mins, until cooked through
🥙 Serve With:
- Warm pita or flatbread
- Hummus, tzatziki, or garlic sauce
- Cucumber tomato salad or tabbouleh
- Lemon rice or couscous
- Or turn it into a bowl with all of the above 👀
🛠️ Pro Tips:
- Add a spoonful of Greek yogurt to the marinade = super tender, juicy chicken
- Don’t overcrowd the skewers — let that heat hit each piece evenly
- Leftovers = amazing in wraps or tossed into a salad the next day
