Ingredients
- 1.5 pound chicken cut into 1.5 inch sized cubes
- 1 medium red onion
- 2 thin zucchini
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 block halloumi
- 1 can artichoke hearts halved
Marinade
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- ½ tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- ¼ cup finely chopped fresh parsley
Creamy Feta Sauce
- ¼ cup greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 5 oz feta
- 1 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a bowl and stir until well mixed. Place the cubed chicken in a bowl, pour the marinade overtop and leave to marinate for a minimum of 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
- Make the feta sauce by combining all of the ingredients in a high speed blender and blender until completely smooth and creamy.
- Prep the veggies, cut the bell peppers and red onion into 1 inch sized squares, and cut the zucchini into 1/2 inch thick circles. Cut the halloumi into 1 inch sized cubes.
- Thread the vegetables and chicken on to the skewers alternating as desired.
- Heat the grill to medium high heat.
- Generously brush the skewers with any remaining marinade from the chicken. Transfer the skewers to the bbq and grill for approximately 10 minutes, turning frequently. They are done when the chicken is cooked through, the veggies are tender and the chicken and veggies have dark grill marks.
- Serve the skewers with the feta sauce on the side to drizzle overtop and garnish with additional chopped parsley.
