Grilled Chicken Mediterranean Mozzarella Souvlaki Skewers

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut the chicken breast into even bite-sized cubes, about 3 cm each.

2. 2

   Cut the zucchini into thick half-moons and the red onion into bite-sized wedges. Keep the cherry tomatoes whole.

3. 3

   Finely chop the fresh oregano and parsley, and mince the garlic.

4. 4

   In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped herbs, salt, and black pepper.

5. 5

   Add the chicken, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and red onion to the marinade. Toss well until everything is evenly coated.

6. 6

   Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

7. 7

   Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 to 30 minutes before grilling.

8. 8

   Thread the marinated chicken, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and red onion onto skewers, alternating the ingredients. Reserve the mozzarella balls for the end so they stay fresh and do not melt too much.

9. 9

   Grill the skewers for 10 to 12 minutes, turning every few minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 74°C.

10. 10

    Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 3 minutes.

11. 11

    Add the mozzarella balls to the warm skewers or serve them alongside the skewers, allowing them to soften slightly from the heat.

12. 12

    Serve immediately with any remaining chopped herbs sprinkled over the top.
