Arcadian Starlight Skewers with Dipping Sauce
These colorful skewers are inspired by the sparkling night skies and diverse inhabitants of Arcadia. Marinated chicken and an array of fresh vegetables are grilled to perfection, then served with a bright, zesty dipping sauce. A perfect light lunch or appetizer for an adventurous palate.
Directions
- 1
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine the chicken, red and yellow bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes.
- 3
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- 4
Pour the marinade over the chicken and vegetables, tossing to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- 5
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- 6
Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating ingredients for a colorful presentation.
- 7
Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly charred.
- 8
While the skewers are grilling, prepare the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, fresh dill, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Stir until smooth.

Serve the Arcadian Starlight Skewers hot, with the yogurt-dill dipping sauce on the side.
