Equipment

  • Grill
  • ziplock bag
  • skewers

Ingredients
  

Marinade

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs cut into bite size pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 4 large garlic cloves minced
  • 3 tablespoons Greek Seasoning
  • 1 large lemon juiced
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions
 

Cooking Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a ziplock bag and shake well to mix. Add chicken and shake to ensure the marinade is covering chicken. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 6 hours. You can also do this in a tightly covered bowl.
  • Remove chicken from marinade, and toss the leftover marinade. Thread chicken onto skewers and grill until cooked through on an outdoor grill, or on the stove top with a grill pan. Chicken is done once it is cooked through and reaches 165°F on an instant read meat thermometer.
  • Let chicken rest for 5 minutes wrapped in foil, then serve as desired! This step seems unimportant, but it will ensure extra juicy and tender chicken.

Notes

See notes below to cook in oven or air fryer. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes wrapped in foil to ensure extra juicy and tender chicken.
