I got the recipe for these amazing Greek Chicken Kabobs from Gina at Skinny Taste. Y’all know I love her recipes, and this one is no exception. She made these as a part of her Chicken Tzatziki Bowls recipe. I used the kabob portion of the recipe and served these with Ina Garten’s Tomato and Feta Salad recipe, which I will post separately, over some simple quinoa. We loved it. The kabobs are juicy, flavorful and absolutely delicious. It’s important to marinate them as the directions state – I would marinate at least 4 and up to 8 hours. The yogurt marinade tenderizes the chicken and adds so much flavor. I cooked these on our All-Clad grill pan – which I absolutely love. You could certainly cook these on a grill and they would be just as amazing, but for a quick, easy weeknight dinner option, they work brilliantly on a grill pan. Bon appetit!
