Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
- Thread the marinated chicken, red bell pepper chunks, green bell pepper chunks, and red onion chunks onto the skewers, alternating the ingredients.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

- Serve hot, perhaps with a side of tzatziki sauce.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add cherry tomatoes or zucchini to the skewers.
- Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Adjust grilling time based on the heat of your grill.
