Ingredients
For the Chicken Marinade:
-
1½ lbs (680g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
-
¼ cup olive oil
-
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
-
2 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
-
2 tsp dried oregano
-
1 tsp salt
-
½ tsp black pepper
Optional for Serving:
-
Warm pita bread
-
Tzatziki sauce
-
Chopped tomatoes, red onions, and cucumbers
-
Crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
-
Marinate the chicken: Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken, toss to coat, and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour (up to 6 hours).
-
Skewer and grill: Thread the chicken pieces onto skewers. Grill over medium-high heat for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and fully cooked.
-
Serve: Remove from skewers and serve with pita, tzatziki, and your favorite toppings for a complete Greek feast.
Notes
-
For extra smoky flavor, grill over charcoal.
-
Wooden skewers? Soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
-
Perfect for meal prep—chicken stays juicy and flavorful when reheated.
