Ingredients
– 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Easy Chicken Souvlaki:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the cubed chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat while the chicken marinates.
4. Skewer the Chicken: Once marinated, thread the chicken pieces onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to prevent burning.
5. Grill the Chicken: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill markings.
6. Check for Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
7. Serve Immediately: Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
