My friends, this was a meal that made them stop complaining though.
My son isn't a huge feta fan (strange but true) so I wondered if he would like this, but he did. Kevin's son eats anything I make as fast as I put it in front of him, which I haven't quite decided if it is a testament to how good my food is or just being a guy that is happy someone else is cooking for him and he doesn't have to eat fast food or microwavable meals.
I have decided to believe the first idea.

- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 1 1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 large red onion, cut into wedges
- 2 Roma tomatoes, cored, seeded, and cut into wedges (or a container of cherry tomatoes)
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes prior to grilling.
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (1/2 large lemon)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried Mediterranean oregano
- 10 ounces of chopped Romaine lettuce
- 2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 1 medium English cucumber, diced
- 1/2 large red onion, thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup kalamata olives, pitted and cut in half
- 4 ounces feta cheese crumbles
instructions:
How to cook Grilled Chicken Kabobs with Greek Salad
- In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, lemon zest, and juice. Stir well.
- Place the marinade and chicken breast cubes in a large zipper-top plastic bag. Mix well with your hand and place in the refrigerator for 1 to 4 hours.
- 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.
- Serve the kabobs over a plate of the Greek salad.
NOTES:
The nutritional information accounts for 1 cup of Greek yogurt in the marinade, however, that entire cup will not be used as it will be thrown away with the leftover marinade. So the actual carb count will be lower than what is shown, depending on how much of the marinade is consumed.
