Ingredients

Serves: 5 servings

ingredients:

  • 5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1½ inch cubes
  • 1 large lemon, zested (about 2 tablespoons zest) and juiced (about ⅓ cup of juice)
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 sprigs of fresh oregano
  • 2 teaspoons Za'atar seasoning
  • Skewers (if wooden, pre-soak in water)


Greek-Style Salad

Ingredients
  • 1½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1½ cups diced cucumber
  • 2 small sweet bell peppers (I used orange and yellow snack-sized peppers)
  • ¼ cup Kalamata olives
  • 1 ounce feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh chopped oregano
  • salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Instruction

Instructions
In a large ziplock bag, place the chicken pieces, lemon zest and juice, garlic and oregano sprigs.
Seal the bag and place in the refrigerator for about 3 hours.
Remove the chicken from the bag (it doesn't matter if zest is still clinging to it) and place on pre-soaked skewers.
Sprinkle with the Za'atar seasoning on both sides.
Grill over medium flame for 4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through.


Instructions
Place all of the ingredients in a small bowl, toss to combine.
Serve at room temperature.
