Greek Chicken and Veggie Kebabs

These kebabs are a classic and easy meal to throw together in an hour! Pair these with some steamed rice or a side salad.

TIP:

Let your protein marinate for at least 30 minutes for better flavor. To cut down on prep time and ensure the flavor builds for almost 24 hours, marinate your proteins, like the chicken in this recipe, the night before.

Alternatively, save even more time by prepping the whole recipe, place the pre- made skewers in a plastic bag or container, and refrigerate.
