Ingredients
- 1 lb. boneless, skinless, chicken breasts or thighs ( cut into bite size pieces)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 4 large garlic cloves (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Greek Seasoning
- 1 large lemon (juiced)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a ziplock bag and shake well to mix. Add chicken and shake to ensure the marinade is covering chicken. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 6 hours. You can also do this in a tightly covered bowl.
- Remove chicken from marinade, and toss the leftover marinade. Thread chicken onto skewers and grill until cooked through on an outdoor grill, or on the stove top with a grill pan. Chicken is done once it is cooked through and reaches 165°F on an instant read meat thermometer. See notes below to cook in oven or air fryer.
- Let chicken rest for 5 minutes wrapped in foil, then serve as desired! This step seems unimportant, but it will ensure extra juicy and tender chicken.
