Greek Chicken Skewer Appetizers

We love having friends over to enjoy dinner together at the table on our deck, but sometimes it is fun to have "heavy" appetizers and call it simple meal! These mini chicken skewers provide flavorful protein bites that are delicious pared with Mini Potato Appetizers and Stuffed Mushrooms (click links for recipes). 
 

Ingredients

1/2 green bell pepper, cut into small pieces
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into small pieces
1/2 yellow bell pepper, cut into small pieces
4 chicken thighs, cut into 1 inch pieces

Marinade for chicken:

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper

  • Combine all ingredients in gallon ziplock bag.  Add chicken pieces and marinate for at least 2 hours to overnight.
  • Soak short bamboo skewers in water. 
  • Drain chicken from the marinade. Thread a piece of green bell pepper, then chicken, then yellow and red pepper. Grill over medium grill for 3-4 minutes per side or until cooked through.
  • Enjoy!
