Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium Red onion, cut into wedges
- 2 medium Bell peppers (red or green), cut into pieces
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers, soaked in water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Tzatziki sauce for serving (optional)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours for the best flavor infusion.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables by cutting the red onion and bell peppers into large chunks.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. If you don't have a grill, a grill pan on the stovetop works well too.
Thread the marinated chicken, red onion wedges, and bell pepper pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating each ingredient.
Place the skewers on the grill, and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the Chicken Souvlaki skewers hot, optionally garnished with freshly chopped parsley and a side of tzatziki sauce.
