Greek Chicken Souvlaki

Step 1

Start by making the marinade. In a small bowl whisk together olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, oregano, minced garlic clove, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cut them into 1 ½ inch pieces. Place them in a large bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken and mix well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, place it in the fridge and let it sit for 2 hours. You can also let it marinate overnight.

Step 3

Soak 6 wooden skewers in water for 30 to 40 minutes.

Step 4

When ready, thread the chicken pieces onto the wooden skewers. You should have about 4 pieces of chicken on each skewer.

Step 5

You can cook the souvlaki on a cast iron pan, grill pan, or directly on the grill. If you are using a pan, make sure that the wooden skewers fit your pan. If they are larger you can cut them to make them fit.

Step 6

If using a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place the assembled souvlaki in the pan. Cook the souvlaki over medium heat for 4 minutes on each side until fully cooked and browned.

Step 7

Serve the chicken souvlaki with Greek salad and tzatziki sauce.
