Souvlaki Skewers

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the cubed chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Skewers

    Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers.

  3. 3

    Grill the Skewers

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the grilled chicken skewers with warm pita bread and tzatziki sauce on the side.
