Grilled Greek Chicken Recipe
Marinate the chicken for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours before grilling.
Grilled Greek chicken skewers cook quickly making them great for entertaining.
Skewers are a great choice for casual get togethers on the weekend. These chicken bites are marinated for up to 24 hours so all the prep work is done well in advance. A few hours before grilling thread the chicken and vegetables onto skewers. Place them on a small sheet pan, cover and refrigerate until ready to grill. The chicken cooks quickly so nobody has to wait too long for dinner to be served. These delicious bites of chicken are also great as a heavy appetizer, or a small plate dinner party. Mix it up with green or yellow peppers, cherry tomatoes and plenty of onion. Onions are so sweet when grilled, so they’re usually a favorite with guests.
