- In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, red wine vinegar, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper until the marinade is smooth and well blended.

Notes
-
- Marinade Time: The longer you marinate (up to 8 hours), the deeper the flavor. But even 30 minutes makes a difference!
-
- Chicken Thighs: Want extra juicy kabobs? Try boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts.
-
- Add Veggies: Bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, red onions, and even cherry tomatoes grill up beautifully with the chicken.
-
- Preheat Your Grill: A hot grill (or cast iron grill pan) gives you the best sear and grill marks. Don’t skip this.
-
- Season: Don’t be afraid to sprinkle a little extra oregano or red pepper flakes before grilling.
Storage and Reheating Instructions
- Fridge: Leftover Greek chicken kabobs keep really well! Let them cool completely, then store the chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Reheat: You can reheat them gently in the microwave or a skillet, or enjoy them cold over a fresh salad or tucked into a pita with tzatziki. They're great for quick lunches or lazy dinners—zero waste, all flavor.
- Freeze: You can also freeze the chicken in the marinade (before cooking) for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight, then grill as usual.
