Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
2. Add chicken cubes to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
3. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before assembly to prevent burning.
4. Prepare vegetables by cutting bell peppers and onions into chunks, slicing zucchini into thick rounds, and keeping cherry tomatoes whole.
5. Thread chicken and vegetables onto skewers, alternating pieces and leaving small gaps between each item for even cooking.
6. Preheat grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
7. Place skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
8. Remove from grill and let rest for 3-5 minutes before serving with tzatziki sauce, pita bread, and Greek salad.

Notes

Store leftover kabobs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in a 350°F oven with a splash of broth to maintain moisture. Serve with tzatziki sauce, warm pita bread, and a fresh Greek salad for an authentic Mediterranean meal.
