Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1.25–1.5 inch cubes
  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (whole milk or 2%)
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus 1 teaspoon zest
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar (optional, for extra tang)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1 to 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt (to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large red onion, cut into 1.25-inch pieces
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), cut into 1.25-inch pieces
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (optional)
  • 8–10 metal or soaked wooden skewers
  • To serve: lemon wedges, fresh parsley or dill, tzatziki, warm pita or rice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Whisk yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice and zest, red wine vinegar (if using), garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  2. Add the chicken cubes to the bowl and toss to coat well. Cover and marinate 30 minutes (room temp) or up to 8 hours (fridge).
  3. Prep the veggies: cut onion and peppers into even pieces, slice zucchini, and pat cherry tomatoes dry.
  4. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20–30 minutes. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400–450°F) or set your oven to broil with a rack 6 inches from the heat.
  5. Thread chicken and veggies onto skewers, packing them close but not tight. Lightly oil the grill grates or a foil-lined sheet pan with a rack.
  6. Grill 10–12 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes, until chicken is lightly charred and reads 165°F inside. For oven, roast at 450°F for 15–18 minutes, turning once, then broil 1–2 minutes to char.
  7. Rest 3 minutes. Finish with lemon juice and chopped herbs. Serve with tzatziki, pita, or salad.

Notes

Do not over-marinate in yogurt beyond 12 hours as it can change the texture. Adjust the veggie choices as desired and add spices to fit personal taste preferences.
