Mediterranean Diet Friendly Herb-Marinated Chicken Kabobs

These skewers hit that easy grilled-dinner sweet spot: juicy chicken thighs threaded alongside charred zucchini, carrots, and red onion, all soaking up a bright marinade of garlic, ginger, turmeric, oregano, and thyme. Olive oil and a splash of apple cider vinegar keep the flavor light and tangy rather than heavy, letting the herbs and vegetables really shine. A quick brush of reserved marinade while grilling builds deep, charred flavor at the edges without any fuss. Finished with a scatter of fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon, it's the kind of simple, produce-forward, olive oil–driven cooking this way of eating is built on. Whether you're grilling for a weeknight dinner or a backyard gathering, this one's a genuinely solid pick for a Mediterranean-style table.

1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp fine sea salt

Instructions

1
If using wooden skewers, submerge them in water for at least 30 minutes so they don't scorch on the grill.
