How to make these greek chicken skewers:

I have called this a camping recipe but of course it’s perfect for making at home and grilling on the bar-be-cue.  We are often escaping into the great outdoors and eat a lot of meals in the woods lol.  So I love to prepare this recipe at home and pack it into our cooler for camping.  It’s nice to leave all of the mess at home and anticipating a delicious pre-made meal during our time camping.  

I try to batch out as many camping meals as I can this way.  A little bit of meal preparation and planning goes a long way in making our time more enjoyable.  Grab my free printable meal planner for your next vacation into the great outdoors.  I promise, it helps!

  1. Start by cutting the chicken, pepper and red onion into cubes.

2. Alternate the skewers with chicken, pepper, onion and cherry tomatoes.

3. Once the skewers are made cover them with a greek marinade for at least an hour. 

This marinade recipe is my absolute favorite!

Greek Marinade ingredients:

  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 3 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 Tbsp minced garlic cloves
  • 2 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • salt and pepper

If you’re saving this recipe for later simply store the skewers in a freezer safe bag and pour the marinade over top.  I love how this allows the flavours to really soak into the chicken and vegetables.

Tips for making Camping Freezer Meals:

  • Use 1 gallon, large freezer bags.  Label bags with the date, recipe and cooking instructions
  • Lay ingredients flat in the bag for easier storage in the freezer or cooler.
  • Defrost meals in the refrigerator and place into tinfoil packet for cooking on the campfire or bar-b-cue.
  • Store meals for up to three months in the freezer.
