Aegean-Style Chicken Skewers offer juicy bites with a citrusy tang and earthy oregano aroma, perfect for a sunny weekend cookout or a casual weeknight dinner.

Aegean-Style Chicken Skewers
  1. 1

    Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, cumin, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  4. 4

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Thread the chicken onto the skewers, alternating with bell peppers, onion, mushrooms, and tomatoes.

  5. 5

    Grill the skewers on the preheated grill, turning frequently, until nicely browned on all sides and the meat is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
