Ingredients
  

For the chicken and marinade:

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into one inch cubes

For the lemon dressing:

  • 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 3 Tablespoons lemon juice

To make the kebobs:

  • 2 red peppers or 1 red and 1 yellow
  • 1 large red onion cut into chunks
  • long wooden skewers

To serve:

  • pita bread
  • Yogurt Herb Dipping Sauce

Instructions
 

  • In a large container whisk together the ingredients for the marinade.
  • Add the chicken and marinate for at least 3 hours but no more than 6.
  • In another bowl, make the Lemon Dressing. You will brush this on the skewers after they come off the grill.
  • Get your veggies ready and thread on skewers that have been soaked in water for about 30 minutes. Otherwise the wood skewers will catch on fire. Don’t ask me how I know that.
  • Grill over high heat until the chicken and vegetables are charred around the edges on all four sides and cooked through. About 3 minutes per side. Put on a platter and brush with the Lemon Dressing before serving.
