Chicken Souvlaki Plate

1. 1

   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.
2. 2

   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.
3. 3

   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.
