Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve found ourselves falling into that midday rhythm of asking “What sounds good for dinner…” then going back and forth between our go-to’s, and ultimately deciding on something that “sort of sounds good…” something from our usual list of dinner menu items. Sounds familiar to anyone else??

So when Sunday morning rolled around I was surprised that I woke up knowing exactly what sounded good for dinner. I’d been in the mood for Greek food so I recommended lemon garlic chicken kebabs… TJ has been making a delicious lemon garlic marinade and I figured adding some veggies into the mix would make it the perfect Sunday evening meal to quickly grill on the BBQ. It was a hit with everyone, and we made enough to have leftovers the next day for lunch (nothing like making Monday a little easier with one less meal to think about….). You can serve it with anything really, but we opted for the garlic herb right rice and a side arugula salad with olives, tomatoes, and red onions.

Sharing the recipe here in case you’re looking for a little inspo in the dinner department!

INGREDIENTS

3lbs of boneless chicken breast (less if you don’t want leftovers)
3 large bell peppers (cut into medium sized pieces)
1 large red onion (cut into medium sized pieces)
2 zucchinis (sliced… thicker is better because if they’re too think they will get soggy on the grill)
2 tbsp minced garlic
2 juicy lemons, juiced
1/3 cup avocado oil (olive oil works too)
skewer sticks (soaked in water so they don’t burn)
1 tbsp sea salt
garlic powder
lemon pepper

DIRECTIONS

In a plastic bag (this is so you can continually flip the contents over to evenly distribute the marinade over the chicken) combine chicken, lemon juice, garlic, avocado oil, and 1/2 tbsp salt and let it sit in the refrigerator for 6 hours (the longer the better).

Then cut chicken into cubes and assemble with the vegetables on the kebab sticks.

Once assembled, take the remaining 1/2 tbsp of sea salt, garlic powder, and lemon pepper and sprinkle it over the kebabs.

Grill util the chicken is cooked.

Then, enjoy!
