For best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. The longer it marinates, the more flavorful and tender it will become. Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as zucchini, yellow squash, or eggplant. Serve these kebabs with warm pita bread, tzatziki sauce, a classic Greek salad, or a side of lemon rice. Metal skewers can be used instead of wooden skewers. They don't require soaking and can be reused.

Nov 19, 2023I substituted lamb for the chicken, and it was absolutely delicious! I also added some chunks of feta cheese to the skewers for an extra burst of flavor.
