Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 60 milliliters Olive oil
- 60 milliliters Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Red onion, cut into chunks
- 1 large Red bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and mix well to ensure they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 2-3 hours, to allow the flavors to develop.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating with chunks of red onion and red bell pepper.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has grill marks.
Remove from the grill and let the skewers rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the chicken souvlaki with your choice of sides such as a fresh Greek salad or tzatziki sauce for a complete meal.
