Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless chicken breast Cubed
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 3 cloves garlic Minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add in the cubed chicken and ensure it's well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak them for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  • Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between pieces for even cooking.
  • Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking and that they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Once cooked, remove from the grill and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese before serving.

Notes

Marinate the chicken for optimal flavor. Avoid overcrowding the skewers. Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Monitor the grill temperature closely.
