I've been absolutely obsessed with Greek cuisine lately—I can't seem to get enough of those vibrant Mediterranean flavors. Have you ever had a food fixation? You know, when you crave a particular type of cuisine, like Greek, Italian, Mexican, or even a love for fish, veggies, and more? Well, my family has been on the receiving end of my Greek food frenzy, and I think it's starting to drive them a little batty. But hey, I'm the one doing the cooking, so my cravings take precedence, right? Still, I try my best to offer a variety of recipes to keep things interesting and avoid making you all as crazy as my family!
It all started with a mouthwatering Greek Burger I made for Father's Day—it was a culinary triumph, if I do say so myself. That burger sparked a fire in my creative culinary brain, and ever since, I've been waking up in the middle of the night with recipe ideas bursting in my head. Does that ever happen to you? Maybe it's just my quirky habit, but some of my best ideas come to me in those quiet, sleepless hours. Just last night, I had to resist the urge to jump out of bed and start canning dilled green beans. I know, it sounds wacko, but trust me, the results are worth it!
Back to this Greek-inspired meal that silenced the complainers—Grilled Chicken Kabobs with Greek Salad. Even my son, who isn't particularly fond of feta (strange but true), couldn't resist its charm. It's always a delight when he devours everything I put in front of him. I like to think it's a testament to how good my food is, rather than just his relief at being spared from fast food and microwavable meals. Let's go with the former, shall we?
This is the ultimate summertime meal that will have you savoring each bite while basking in the great outdoors. Picture yourself by the grill, relishing the tangy kabobs alongside a refreshing Greek Salad. The combination is simply divine!
If you're looking to add a side dish to complement this Greek feast, I highly recommend trying out my garlic herb cauliflower rice recipe. It's a delicious low-carb option that pairs perfectly with the kabobs and salad. Jazz it up with a sprinkle of feta and a squeeze of lemon, and you'll have a heavenly combination that takes the meal to a whole new level.
Prepare to treat your taste buds to a sensational Greek feast, perfect for those following a low-carb or keto lifestyle. Embrace the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean and enjoy every moment of this culinary adventure. And for those with gluten sensitivities, rest assured that this meal is gluten-free, making it a delightful option for everyone.

🔪Grilled Chicken Kabobs with Greek Salad Instructions
This is a basic breakdown of the steps involved in making Grilled Chicken Kabobs with Greek Salad. You will find the full directions in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
Hint: To ensure juicy and flavorful chicken kabobs, try marinating the chicken for at least 1 hour but preferably up to 4 hours. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the meat and tenderize it. The longer the marination time, the more pronounced the flavors will be. So, plan ahead for maximum deliciousness!
Substitutions
- Chicken Breasts - instead of chicken breasts you can use chicken thighs or even shrimp.
- Vegetables - I use some traditional Greek veggies but feel free to substitute the vegetables that you prefer.
- Vegetarian - you can replace the chicken with cubes of firm tofu or a variety of vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, and mushrooms.

- 1 tsp organic garlic powder
- 1 tsp pink salt
- 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1 lemon zested and juiced
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into cubes
- 1/2 large red onion cut into wedges
- 2 Roma tomatoes cored, seeded, and cut into wedges (or a container of cherry tomatoes)
- skewers if using wooden skewers soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling.
For the Salad
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (1/2 large lemon)
- 2 cloves garlic minced or grated
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp Mediterranean oregano
- 10 ounces Romaine lettuce chopped

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, lemon zest, and juice. Stir well.

- When ready to grill, prepare the grill by lightly oiling the grates and set to medium-high heat.
- If using wooden skewers, prepare them by soaking in water for 30 minutes.
- Thread the chicken on the skewers alternating with the red onion, tomato wedges until you've reached the end of the skewer, ending with chicken. Repeat with the remaining skewers. Discard the remaining marinade.
- In a small mason jar (or a small bowl) combine the extra-virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, and oregano. Shake (or stir) to combine well.
- Place the lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and olive in a salad bowl. Pour the dressing over and toss to combine. Sprinkle with the feta crumbles. Place salad in the refrigerator.
- Grill the chicken, turning often, so each side has light grill marks, about 10-15 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165 internal temperature.
