Greek Chicken Souvlaki

2 Chicken Breasts (Στήθος κοτόπουλου - Stíthos kotópoulou), Cut into cubes

3 tbsp Olive Oil (Ελαιόλαδο - Elaiólado)

4-5 Garlic Cloves, Crushed (Σκόρδο - Skórdo)

½ Lemon (λεμόνι - lemoni), Juiced

1 tsp Black Pepper Powder, Freshly Ground

1 tbsp Dried Oregano (Ρίγανη - rígani)

Salt (Αλάτι - Aláti), To taste

Marinating the Chicken

In a mixing bowl, combine diced chicken with dried oregano and olive oil. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator to enhance flavours.

Preparing the Souvlaki

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, arranging them lengthwise.

Baking the Souvlaki

Place the chicken skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminium foil for easy cleanup. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly browned.

Serve

Serve hot with pita bread, tzatziki sauce, fresh vegetables, and a squeeze of lemon for an authentic Greek experience.
