Description

This easy Greek Chicken Souvlaki recipe features juicy, marinated chicken pieces grilled to perfection with authentic Greek seasoning, perfect for a flavorful Mediterranean meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
