Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together lemon juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, chopped parsley, chopped mint, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.

Add the cubed chicken breast and halloumi cheese to the marinade. Toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Thread the marinated chicken, halloumi, cherry tomatoes, and red onion wedges onto the skewers, alternating ingredients.

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).

Grill the skewers for 8-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C) and the halloumi is golden brown and slightly softened. The vegetables should be tender-crisp.

While the skewers are grilling, prepare the cucumber. In a small bowl, toss the cucumber chunks with a pinch of salt.

Serve the hot skewers immediately with the fresh cucumber and whole wheat pita bread wedges.
