Lemon and oregano chicken kebabs are delicious
Simple, yet delicious, I never knew so few ingredients could taste this good. The lemon and oregano marinade is full of flavour and tenderises the chicken. I baked the kebabs but barbecuing would work well. The chicken kebabs are best eaten warm, but are succulent enough to be eaten cold as leftovers. Enjoy!
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Serves: 6 kebab sticks
Ingredients
2 tbsp oil
1 large lemon, finely zested and juiced
1 tbsp dried oregano
Salt and pepper
2 chicken breasts
1/2 iceberg or cos lettuce, cut
1 tomato, cut
10cm cucumber, sliced
1 red capsicum, sliced
1/8 cup kalamata olives, sliced
Method
Soak six kebab sticks in water, to prevent them burning while the chicken is cooking.
Put the lemon juice and zest, oil, oregano, salt and pepper in a bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.

Whisk to combine the lemon and oregano mixture
Cut the chicken into 2.5cm wide strips, diagonally at a 45 degree angle.

The chicken will be thin enough to be tenderised by the marinade and thick enough to threaded onto the kebab sticks
Put the chicken, lemon and oregano mixture into a bowl and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to marinate.

Marinate the chicken for 30 minutes
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and line one baking dish with baking paper.
Thread the chicken on the kebab sticks and place on a baking dish. Bake the chicken for 12-15 minutes, until cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, make a salad of lettuce, tomato, capsicum, cucumber and kalamata olives.
Take the chicken kebabs out of the oven and place on serving plates with a side of salad.

The kebabs are ready to go in the oven
