Chicken Souvlaki is Greek chicken kabobs marinated in fresh herb oregano (my fav), garlic, lemon, olive oil and seasonings. SOUVLAKI Souvlaki are a popular fast food choice in Greece. Skewers of marinated meat are cooked over an open fire - it can be lamb, pork and chicken. The accompaniments are usually tomatoes, red onion and tzatziki wrapped in soft pitta bread.
Steps to make Chicken Souvlaki:
- Chop the chicken into large chunks and place into a bowl.
- Simply add the oil, herbs and spices.
- Squeeze the lemon
- Crush the garlic
- Throw in, add salt and pepper and mix well. Leave to marinate
- Chop the pepper. When the chicken has marinated place on to skewers with layers of chicken then pepper.
- Heat a griddle on high and cook the chicken on all sides until charred.
- After they are coked through, serve with some lettuce, salad, on wraps if you like!
In some tavernas, they serve chips stuffed inside the pitta too. To assemble the chicken souvlaki pitas, lay a piece of pita bread out on a flat surface, and top it with a few pieces of chicken and your desired toppings and tzatziki sauce. Notes *I recommend using traditional olive oil for this recipe, not extra virgin olive oil, since it has a higher smoke point. Serve while still warm with some pita breads and tzatziki sauce. You can also serve the chicken souvlaki (skewers) wrapped, like a sandwich.
