  • Total Time: 0 hours

Ingredients

– 2 lbs chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
– ¼ cup olive oil
– ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– Wooden or metal skewers
– Fresh parsley, for garnish
– Tzatziki sauce (for serving)


Instructions

Creating Chicken Souvlaki is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate Chicken: Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Soak Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
4. Preheat Grill: Heat your grill to a medium-high temperature.
5. Skewer Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
6. Grill Chicken: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
7. Rest and Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
9. Pair with Tzatziki: Serve with tzatziki sauce for dipping, along with grilled vegetables or pita bread if desired.

Following these simple steps will yield perfectly grilled Chicken Souvlaki every time.
