Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cups Olive oil
- 0.25 cups Fresh lemon juice
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 Green bell pepper, cut into pieces
- 12 Cherry tomatoes
- 12 Wooden skewers, soaked in water
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes into the marinade and stir to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating with pieces of red onion, green bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the gluten-free Greek Souvlaki with your choice of gluten-free flatbread, a side of tzatziki sauce, and a fresh Greek salad for a complete meal.
