Lemony Chicken Skewers with Squash Salad

Preparation

1
Zest one lemon into a large bowl, then squeeze in the juice of both lemons.
2
Whisk in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the minced garlic, oregano, half the salt, and half the pepper.
3
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and toss them in the marinade until well coated.
4
Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 20 minutes while you prepare the salad.
5
Slice the squash into thin ribbons or coins, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion.
6
Toss the vegetables with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper, then fold in the chopped parsley.
7
Thread the chicken cubes onto skewers, leaving a little space between the pieces.
8
Grill or broil the skewers over medium-high heat for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once, until golden and cooked through.
9
Crumble the feta over the salad and serve alongside the hot skewers.
