Greek Chicken Souvlaki
Authentic Greek Chicken Souvlaki
Ingredients:
2 lbs chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for the best flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken onto the soaked wooden skewers.
Grill the chicken skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.
Serve the chicken souvlaki with warm pita bread, tzatziki sauce, and your favorite toppings such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions.
