Instructions
Instructions are for 4 servings. Please modify as needed.
Thorougly mix all the marinade ingredients in a bowl.
Add the chicken, onion, and red peppers to the bowl and mix to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes or overnight.
Meanwhile, prepare the yogurt dip by mixing all the dip ingredients. Season to taste and set aside in the fridge.
Preheat the grill/barbecue (or oven) with the lid down until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C).
Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables alternately onto your skewers. Grill for five to seven minutes until they are just browned. Turn over and grill for another 5-7 minutes. If you are using the oven bake for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 175°F (80°C).
Serve the skewers as soon as they are cooked with the yogurt dip and lemon wedges.
Tips
The yogurt dip will keep covered in the fridge for up to two days.
Feel free to substitute the dip with aioli or tzatziki.
This dish is delicious with a traditional greek salad.

It's cold outside and I felt lazy, so rather than grilling on skewers I prepared this in the oven, sheet pan style, turning on the broiler at the end for a touch of char. Everybody loved it. No leftovers., sadly. This is an easy, delicious recipe.
