It’s that time again. Time to break out the barbecue. I know, I know, some of you have probably been using it all winter long 10 feet deep in snow. I am not that dedicated and I don’t even live near snow. The temp drops below 24 degrees here and it’s “Que Frio!”. Barbecuing for me has to be done in flip flops with a cold beverage in hand.
Case in point with this very tasty dish below. And Feta just makes everything better!

How To Make The Skewers and Salad
- The chicken was cut in strips and I put one strip on a stick. You could just as easily stuff two strips on a stick to make them bigger if you prefer to do it this way. While the chicken is cooking, it’s a good idea to pour over the extra marinade. This helps give it more flavour.
- I put everything on the barbecue at the same time when putting this together. Remember cooking time varies from barbecue to barbecue and depending on how much chicken you have on a stick, etc. These kebabs took about 15 minutes to cook through.
- The Peppers went on the same time as the chicken, I just rotated them a few times to make sure they didn’t burn and got that nice charred effect.
- The marinade sauce for this recipe is really good and could easily be served poured over rice or as a dipping sauce on the side. If you plan to do this, make sure to double the sauce recipe. This will ensure you have enough.
How To Serve The Chicken & Peppers
This is an all in one dinner and is great served just as you see it here. We thought this was a great dish and will be on repeat this summer. Simple enough to make and all the prep work can be done in advance.
Enjoy the barbecue friends and I’ll see you all in a few days with more kitchen inspiration. So, until then, keep on cooking.
