Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, black pepper, oregano, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes.
Add chicken pieces, tossing to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for extra flavor).

Step 2: Prepare the Skewers

Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
Thread chicken, bell peppers, zucchini, onion, and cherry tomatoes onto skewers, alternating for color.

Step 3: Grill the Skewers

Lightly oil the grill grates.
Place skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until chicken is fully cooked (internal temp 165°F/75°C).

Step 4: Make the Herb Dip

In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, dill, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!

Remove skewers from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
Serve hot with the cool herb dip on the side.

Notes

Soak Wooden Skewers – Prevents burning by soaking for 30 minutes before grilling.
Use Fresh Herbs in the Dip – Enhances the flavor with a bright, fresh taste.
Marinate Longer for More Flavor – Let the chicken soak for up to 4 hours.
For Extra Creaminess – Add a spoonful of mashed avocado to the dip.
