Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450g) chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 wooden or metal skewers
  • Pita bread, for serving
  • Fresh vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, onions), for serving
  • 1 cup tzatziki sauce

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

  2. 2

    Add the chicken pieces to the marinade mixture. Toss until all the chicken is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best flavor.

  3. 3

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    While the grill is heating up, thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers.

  5. 5

    Once the grill is ready, place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  6. 6

    Remove the chicken skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.

  7. 7

    Serve the grilled chicken souvlaki with warm pita bread, fresh vegetables, and tzatziki sauce on the side.
