Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Marinate Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, dried oregano, parsley, thyme, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh mint, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and add to the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Prepare Tzatziki Sauce: Grate a seeded cucumber, squeeze out excess moisture. In a separate bowl, mix cucumber with Greek yogurt, minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, and lemon juice. Stir well and set aside.
  3. Prepare Skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. Thread marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, interspersing with cubed onions and bell peppers.
  4. Grill Chicken: Preheat grill over medium-high heat, brush with marinade to prevent sticking. Grill chicken skewers for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked through.
  5. Serve: Remove skewers from grill. Serve with tzatziki sauce and consider pairing with warm pita or a fresh salad.

Notes

For optimal flavor, marinate your chicken overnight. Opt for chicken thighs instead of breasts for juiciness. Always soak wooden skewers to prevent burning. Customize with extra vegetables for a colorful presentation.
