Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Souvlaki
  • 1 lb chicken breast cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp paprika

Equipment

  • Grill
  • Bowl
  • Skewers

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.
  3. Step 3: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Step 4: Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
  5. Step 5: Grill the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
  6. Step 6: Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Let the chicken cool completely before placing it in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
