Method

1

Cut chicken into 1.5-inch cubes. Combine lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl to form the marinade.

2

Add chicken cubes to the marinade, stir to coat evenly, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 24 hours).

3

Cut bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into chunks or large pieces suitable for skewering.

4

Thread marinated chicken alternately with vegetable pieces onto skewers, leaving small gaps between items for even cooking. Season skewers lightly with salt and pepper.

5

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill skewers 4–5 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internal temperature and vegetables are lightly charred, about 15–20 minutes total.

6

In the final minute of cooking, place pita bread directly on the grill or warm it in a dry pan until soft and pliable, about 1 minute per side.

7

Lay warm pita on a plate. Slide chicken and vegetables off skewers onto or beside the pita. Top with crumbled feta, diced cucumber, and fresh parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.
