Ingredients
  

  • 4 Chicken Thighs Skinless, Boneless, Cut into strips
  • 3 Cloves garlic Grated
  • 2 TBSP Za'atar
  • 2 TBSP olive oil
  • 1 Lemon Juiced
  • 1.5 TSP Salt
  • 1/2 TSP White Pepper Black pepper will substitute fine
  • 1 TSP Fresh Chopped Oregano Optional
  • 1 TSP Fresh Chopped Thyme Optional

Instructions
 

  • Mix together your olive oil, lemon, za'atar, salt, pepper, herbs, and garlic in a small bowl. In a medium bowl, add chicken thigh strips and pour in the seasoning. Rest or marinate for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
  • Thread your chicken strips onto skewers and begin heating up your grill to a high heat. Once your grill reads about 400 F, place chicken skewers on the grates and lower the heat to medium low. Rotate the skewers every 4 minutes until you have a good sear or char on all sides. Remove chicken when an instant read thermometer reads at least 160 F.
  • Rest chicken for at least five minutes to redistribute juices, and sprinkle with a little extra lemon juice and fresh parsley (optional). Serve and enjoy!
