Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best results.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Chicken for Grilling

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Thread the chicken onto skewers.

  3. 5

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the skewered chicken on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

Serving

  1. 6

    Prepare the Pita and Vegetables

    Warm the pita bread on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until soft. Slice the fresh vegetables into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Dish

    Serve the grilled chicken souvlaki in the warm pita bread, topped with fresh vegetables and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce.
