Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 60 ml Olive oil
- 60 ml Lemon juice
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Dried thyme
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 piece Red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 piece Bell pepper, cut into pieces
- 10 pieces Wooden skewers, soaked in water
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to enhance the flavors.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating with onion wedges and bell pepper pieces.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks on all sides.
Check the chicken for doneness; it should be white and tender inside, with an internal temperature reaching at least 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Serve the Gluten-Free Chicken Souvlaki with your choice of gluten-free pita, Greek salad, or tzatziki sauce.
