Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.

Cooking

  2. Grill the kabobs for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serving
  1. Remove kabobs from the grill and let rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces or sides.
