Ingredients

3 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, 1.5-inch chunks
2 medium zucchini, thick half-moons
2 large red onions, cut into wedges
¼ cup olive oil
3 lemons, juiced (about ⅓ cup)
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp ground cumin
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
Tzatziki

1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
½ tsp salt

Instructions

1

Make the Marinade

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined.

2

Marinate the Chicken

Add the chicken thigh pieces to the marinade and toss to coat every piece. Cover and refrigerate. The longer the better — overnight is ideal, but one hour works in a pinch.

⏱ 1 hour minimum (overnight ideal)
3

Make the Tzatziki

While the chicken marinates, combine Greek yogurt, grated and squeezed cucumber, grated garlic, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, fresh dill, and salt in a bowl. Stir well, cover, and refrigerate until serving.

4

Thread the Skewers

Thread marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, alternating with zucchini half-moons and red onion wedges. You should get about 16 skewers (2 per serving). Discard remaining marinade.

5

Grill the Kabobs

Preheat grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat — about 400°F. Oil the grates lightly. Grill skewers, turning every 3–4 minutes, until chicken is charred on the edges and cooked through (internal temp 165°F).

⏱ 10–12 minutes
6

Rest, Portion & Store

Let skewers rest for 5 minutes. Serve 2 skewers per portion with about 2 tablespoons of tzatziki on the side. For meal prep, slide chicken and veggies off skewers into the large section of 24 oz 2-compartment containers. Store tzatziki in the small section or separately. Cool completely before freezing.

Prep Notes & Tips

  • Container: Use 24 oz (3-cup) rectangular 2-compartment containers. Chicken and veggies in the large section, tzatziki in the small section. Or remove from skewers before storing for easier stacking.
  • Freeze raw: Thread marinated chicken and veggies onto skewers, wrap tightly in plastic wrap then foil, and freeze flat. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then grill as directed. Keeps 3 months.
  • Freeze cooked: Slide grilled chicken and veggies off skewers into containers. Freeze without tzatziki for up to 3 months. Reheat from frozen in the microwave (3–4 min, flipping halfway) or in a 375°F oven for 15–18 min.
  • Tzatziki freezing: It freezes okay but gets slightly thinner — stir well after thawing. Making it fresh when serving is better if you have the time.
  • Skewer tip: Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before threading. Metal skewers are easier for batch prep and reusable.
  • Volume boost: Serve over a bed of raw shredded cabbage or a simple cucumber-tomato salad for extra bulk with minimal calories.
