Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Mediterranean
Servings: 4 people
Author: Gaby Dalkin

Ingredients

For the chicken:

  • 3 tablespoons Gaby’s Go To Seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 garlic cloves roughly chopped
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 lemon cut into wedges/sliced for serving
  • 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs and/or breasts cut into 1 ¼-inch cubes
  • 1 recipe Basil Vinaigrette

Instructions

  • Combine the seasoning, olive oil red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic and lemon juice in a bowl; whisk to combine. Add in the chicken. Cover and chill at least 1 hour.
  • Prepare grill over medium-high heat. Thread chicken pieces on skewers, dividing equally. Discard marinade in bowl. Sprinkle each skewer with additional gaby’s go-to seasoning.
  • Grill chicken until golden brown and cooked through, turning skewers occasionally, 10 to 12 minutes total. Transfer skewers to platter. Serve with basil vinaigrette and extra lemon wedges

Notes

I don't recommend mixing breasts and thighs - choose one or the other so they cook evenly. Or you can make some skewers of each type, keeping in mind that the dark meat takes longer to cook.
