METHOD · 3 STEPS
Marinate the chicken breast
- Whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and oregano in a medium bowl.
- Add the cubed chicken breast to the mixture and toss until evenly coated.
- Allow the chicken to marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
TIPDo not marinate for more than 2 hours as the acid in the lemon juice will begin to toughen the meat.Grill the chicken skewers
- Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Cook the skewers for 12 minutes, turning occasionally until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
TIPIf using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes beforehand to prevent charring.Assemble the souvlaki plates
- Chop the cucumber and tomato into bite-sized pieces for the salad.
- Divide the grilled chicken skewers between two plates.
- Serve alongside the fresh salad and a dollop of Greek yogurt.
TIPSeason the cucumber and tomato with a pinch of black pepper just before serving to keep them crisp.
