Wonderful. I didn't think I'd like the fennel and it wound up being my favorite part. I didn't bother to skewer the chicken and veggies, just used some grill roasting pans on our Traeger. Next time I will marinate the meat longer then add the veggies for the last 20 minutes. Served with roasted garlic couscous and a greek salad with feta. It was a great, but easy meal.

Just made it for dinner & loved it. So simple, fresh & light but the lemon & oregano just steal the show. Will definitely make again for a grill party I'm having in a few weeks. Did cheat by using a grill basket rather than skewers.
