Ingredients
1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs (halal-certified)
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice (or white vinegar as non-alcoholic substitute)
1/4 tsp dried oregano
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (omit for gluten-free)
2 cups mixed vegetables (onion, bell pepper, zucchini, cherry tomatoes)
1 tbsp optional olive oil for grilling
Instructions
Cut chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes.
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add chicken, toss to coat, and refrigerate for 30 minutes minimum.
Thread marinated chicken and vegetables alternately onto skewers, pressing tightly to prevent shifting. Secure ends with marinated onions.
Preheat grill to 375-400°F. Oil grates. Sear kabobs over medium-high heat, 10 minutes per side, total 18-20 minutes. Sprinkle breadcrumbs during last 2 minutes for crunch.
Notes
Use 18-20-gauge soaked wooden or metal skewers for grilling.
Adjust red pepper flakes for spice preference.
Brush leftover marinade (without garlic/pepper flakes) on chicken during grilling for extra flavor.
