Zesty Lemon Feta Chicken Skewers

How to make it

1. 1

   First things first, let's get that chicken ready. Cut your boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite sized pieces, about 1 inch cubes. Also, chop your bell peppers into similar sized squares so they will cook evenly on the skewers.

2. 2

   Now for the lovely marinade. In a medium bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, the juice from your large lemon, a good pinch of salt, and some freshly ground black pepper. Pop your chicken pieces into this mixture, stir well to coat everything, then cover the bowl and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. You can even do this for a couple of hours if you have time, it just makes the chicken extra tender and flavorful!

   While the chicken is marinating, if you are using wooden skewers, remember to soak them in water for about 20 minutes. This helps prevent them from burning on the grill or in the oven.

   Time to assemble! Thread the marinated chicken and bell pepper pieces onto your skewers, alternating them as you go. Try not to pack them too tightly so they cook through nicely. Preheat your grill to medium high heat, or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if you are baking them. If baking, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   Cook your skewers! If grilling, place them directly on the grates and cook for about 4 to 6 minutes per side, until the chicken is cooked through and has some lovely char marks. If baking, arrange them on your prepared baking sheet and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway, until the chicken is golden and cooked through. Always make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

   Once cooked, take those beautiful skewers off the heat and transfer them to a platter. Sprinkle generously with the crumbled feta cheese right away so it softens just a bit. Serve them warm and enjoy your delicious, protein packed meal!
