Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1" chunks
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lemon, juiced (2 tablespoons)
- 2 tablespoons Greek seasoning
Instructions
- For the marinade, combine the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and Greek seasoning in a small bowl. Whisk together to combine.
- Place the chicken and marinade in a sealable plastic bag and shake to ensure the marinade is covering chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Thread chicken onto skewers and throw away the remaining marinade. Grill on an outdoor grill or grill pan for about 5 minutes on each side. Grill until thoroughly cooked to 165° Farhenheit. Serve warm!
- Serve chicken souvlaki with a side of tzatziki sauce for dipping, with a delicious Greek salad, or as the meat in a gyro.
