Greek Chicken Kebabs

First off, let’s talk about these kebab skewers…because I know you’re going to ask. 🙂

So. My mom is a very clever gift giver and she loves to find obscure and fun kitchen gadgets that I don’t already have. Being a food blogger means that I have a slew of kitchen gadgets and goodies and I think she enjoys the challenge of finding ones that I don’t have. For Christmas 2 years ago, I opened these flexible skewers and the delight on her face when I told her that we didn’t have these yet…she was elated!

(If you want some of your own, you can find them here.)

Now, let’s talk about these kebabs.

Chicken pieces soaked in a lemon-oregano vinaigrette. Then threaded with some green olives, red onion, bell peppers and zukes. (I wasn’t originally going to include zucchini because I don’t think of those as being very ‘Greek,’ but I threw them on because we had some and because I knew the kids would eat their veggies if I served them. Include them or don’t, that’s up to you.) Then grilled to perfection. Then devoured.

That’s how these Greek Chicken kebabs work. They will rock your taste buds!
