Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Chicken breast
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Oregano, dried
- 1 teaspoon Thyme, dried
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Red onion, cut into chunks
- 2 Bell peppers, any color, cut into chunks
- 12 Wooden skewer sticks, soaked in water
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes, mix well to ensure even coating, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, soak the wooden skewers in a bowl of water to prevent burning during grilling.
Prepare the red onion and bell peppers by cutting them into approximately 1-inch pieces to match the size of the chicken cubes.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken chunks onto the soaked skewers, alternating with pieces of onion and bell pepper.
Once all skewers are assembled, grill the souvlaki for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char on the outside.
Remove skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the soy-free Greek souvlaki with your choice of side dishes such as tzatziki, pita bread, or a fresh Greek salad.
