Savory Chicken Kabob Marinade


  • Author: Alioui
  • Total Time: 25 minutes (plus optional marinating time)
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

This Chicken Kabob Marinade is a flavorful blend that infuses your chicken with lemon, garlic, and herbs for a juicy, delicious result.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil – Adds richness to the marinade.
  • 1 large lemon (juiced & zested) – Brings a refreshing tang to the dish.
  • 2 cloves garlic (grated) – Enhances the savory depth of flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano – Complements the lemon with a subtle earthiness.
  • ½ teaspoon salt – Balances and enhances the overall flavor.
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper – Adds a mild kick.
  • 2 lbs chicken breasts (cubed) – The main star, absorbing all the delicious marinade.

Instructions

  1. Begin by grabbing your medium bowl and whisking together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, grated garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Take a large zip-top bag and pour in your freshly made marinade. Next, add in the cubed chicken breasts, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Seal the bag tightly, removing excess air, and place it in your refrigerator.
  3. Once your chicken has marinated to perfection, it’s time to thread the pieces onto the skewers.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium heat. Once hot, place the skewers on the grill and grill the chicken kabobs for approximately 10-15 minutes, turning them every 5 minutes for even cooking.

Notes

For the best flavor, marinate your chicken overnight if time allows.
