Ingredients
Scale

- 4 large garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ½ tablespoon dijon mustard
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, or ½ teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 medium red onion, cut into large chunks
- 2 large zucchini, 1 green and 1 yellow, sliced into ½ to 1-inch half moons
- 10 – 12 skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes if using wooden skewers
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken by whisking together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, and Dijon mustard in a large bowl.
- Add the chicken, dried dill, oregano, salt, and pepper to the bowl, tossing to coat completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight if possible.
- Assemble the skewers by threading the zucchini, onion, and marinated chicken onto them, alternating the ingredients.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high or high heat and lightly oil the grates.
- Grill the kebabs for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Serve the skewers on a platter, garnished with fresh dill, and alongside tzatziki, lemon wedges, and your favorite sides.
Notes
Marinating overnight enhances the flavors.
Use a meat thermometer for perfect chicken doneness.
You can substitute vegetables based on your preference.
