To me, the Fourth of July marks the peak of summer. The days are longer, we’ve been getting outside as much as possible, and you know I’ve been firing up the grill as much as I can.

Peak summer calls for delicious, easy Greek chicken kabobs that not only make a healthy dinner but are also easy to whip up during the summer weeknights. I included options for grilling and baking these kabobs, plus delicious sides we love to serve with them. They have a homemade Greek marinade, and plenty of rainbow veggies and truly make the best dinner!

Now I don’t know about you, but I’m a huge lover of Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. Give me all of the feta, olives, hummus, greek rice, and tomatoes. Oh, and we can’t forget about the cool cucumber yogurt tzatziki sauce now, can we?

If you haven’t made my homemade easy tzatziki yet, you must!

What you’ll need to make Greek chicken kabobs

These wonderful Greek chicken kabobs are made with a few summer staples and are loaded with flavor. I absolutely love when there are tender, sweet bell peppers served with my Greek chicken, so we’re using all three stoplight bell peppers in the recipe, too! These are the basics you’ll need (and we’ll chat marinade below!):

Chicken: you’ll need one pound of boneless, skinless chicken breast.
Veggies: we’re packing in all of the fresh summer produce with red, yellow, and green bell pepper, plus a zingy red onion.
Marinade: the homemade Greek marinade is what makes these kabobs extra special! See below for all of the deets.

The best Greek marinade for chicken

These Greek chicken kabobs are first marinated in a zesty, homemade Greek dressing before being placed on the grill. This is to ensure the chicken is not only full of Greek flavors but is also tender and delicious. The Greek marinade I like to use for chicken kabobs is full of flavor. You’ll need:

Fresh lemon juice
Red wine vinegar
Garlic powder or fresh garlic
Dijon mustard
Dried oregano
Salt and pepper

Make these kabobs your own

The great part about these easy Greek chicken kabobs is that they’re super easy to customize with your fav summer produce! Feel free to sub in:

How to grill Greek chicken kabobs

Prep your grill & kabobs. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and place your veggies & marinated chicken pieces onto 8 skewers. Leave a small space between the ingredients so they cook evenly.
Grill the kabobs. Place each skewer on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes on each side. Keep the lid closed while they’re grilling! Grill until the chicken is fully cooked and the veggies are tender.
Serve ’em up. Remove the kabobs from the grill and serve with tzatziki sauce and your fav sides!

Easily cook these chicken kabobs in the oven

I realize not everyone owns a grill, so I’ve also included instructions on how to make these Greek chicken kabobs in the oven — and they’re just as yummy. Here’s how to do it:

Prep your oven. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with foil.
Prepare your kabobs. Thread on the chicken and veggies as directed in the recipe.
Bake your kabobs. Place skewers on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Chicken is done when no longer pink, or when a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F. Serve with sauce, roasted potatoes or rice of choice!

Using wooden skewers? Don’t forget this step

If you’re using wooden or bamboo skewers, be sure to soak them for 15 minutes before cooking your kabobs on the grill or in the oven so that they don’t burn.
