These vibrant chicken kebabs are full of Mediterranean flavour and balanced nutrition. Lean chicken breast provides high-quality protein to support muscle repair and satiety, while olive oil and oregano deliver healthy fats and antioxidant benefits. Colourful vegetables like courgette, yellow pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes supply fibre, vitamin C, and other essential nutrients to boost immunity, support digestion, and promote skin health. Grilling enhances the natural sweetness of the vegetables and gives the chicken a smoky, charred finish for a delicious, wholesome meal.

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 lemon, juiced

• 1 tbsp red wine vinegar

• 1 tbsp dried oregano

• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (divided)

• 450g chicken breast,

• boneless, skinless, diced into cubes

• 1 large courgette

• 1 yellow pepper

• 1 cup red onion (approx. 150g)

• 300g cherry tomatoes

• 8 barbecue skewers

Method

Combine the lemon juice, red wine vinegar, oregano and 1/2 of the olive oil in a mixing bowl.
Add in the cubed chicken breast and mix well. Place in the fridge and let marinate while you prep the vegetables.
Dice the courgette, yellow bell pepper, and red onion into large chunks. Toss in the remaining olive oil.
Slide the marinated cubed chicken, courgette, yellow bell pepper, red onion and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers.
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Grill the kebabs for 8 to 10 minutes per side or until chicken is cooked through.
Remove the kebabs from the grill and divide onto plates. Enjoy!
