Let's make it!

This recipe for chicken souvlaki tastes exactly like the ones you’d be served in Greece.

1

In a zip-top bag, combine olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and ground black pepper to create the marinade. Mix these ingredients thoroughly.

2

Add the chicken breast pieces into the bag, ensuring any excess air is removed before sealing. Gently massage the bag to ensure the marinade fully coats each piece of chicken.

3

Place the bag in the refrigerator and leave it to marinate for a minimum of one hour, up to a maximum of four hours. Prior to grilling, soak wooden skewers in water for approximately 20-30 minutes to prevent them from burning.

4

Thread the marinated chicken onto the pre-soaked skewers. Preheat your grill or grill pan. Apply a small amount of oil to the grill grates or the grill pan to prevent sticking.

5

 Once hot, add the chicken skewers to the grill or pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

6

Remove the chicken skewers from the grill or pan and allow them to rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This will help the chicken to retain its juices and remain moist.

7

Serve the Chicken Souvlaki with flatbreads, Greek salad, and tzatziki sauce for a complete meal.
