Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2: Add 1 lb cubed boneless skinless chicken thighs to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto 6 soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between pieces.
Step 4: Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Step 5: Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving with your choice of tzatziki or Greek salad.
