Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Souvlaki
  • 1 lb chicken breast cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper
  • Wooden or metal skewers

Equipment

  • Large Bowl
  • Grill or Grill Pan
  • Skewers

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. This marinade is the secret to juicy, flavorful chicken.
  2. Step 2: Add chicken cubes to the marinade and mix until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
  3. Step 3: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving space between pieces for even cooking.
  4. Step 4: Grill the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
  5. Step 5: Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze cooked chicken for up to 2 months.
