Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 35 min
Yield: Serves 4-6
Ingredients: 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes; 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil; 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice; 2 tablespoons dried oregano; 4 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tablespoon lemon zest; 1 teaspoon kosher salt; 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces; 2 bell peppers (red and yellow), cut into 1-inch pieces; 1 tablespoon honey; 8-10 wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes)

Instructions

Prepare the marinade

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and honey until well combined.
Marinate the chicken

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Prepare the skewers

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, alternating with pieces of red onion and bell peppers.
Preheat the grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F/200°C). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the skewers

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and has nice grill marks.
Rest and serve

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot with additional lemon wedges, a sprinkle of fresh oregano, and your favorite sides such as Greek salad, tzatziki sauce, or warm pita bread.
