Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts, cut into strips
2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2-1 teaspoon pepper
1 lemon, juice of
vegetable oil, same amount to match the lemon juice

Steps:

Place the chicken in a bowl and add oregano, garlic powder, seasoning salt and pepper.
Toss to coat.
Marinate in fridge for at least 30 minutes -the longer the better.
In the meantime, if you are going to use wooden skewers, soak them for 30 minutes. This prevents them from burning on the BBQ.
Squeeze the lemon and then add an equal amount of vegetable oil.
Skewer chicken onto wooden or metal skewers.
BBQ chicken skewers until done.
Mix the oil and lemon mixture until "creamy" and drizzle over the hot chicken - do this as soon as they come off the grill.
Serve and enjoy!
**on a side note - if you own a George Foreman, grill this recipe works very well on it!

Ingredients

¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite-sized pieces
1 (6 ounce) container plain Greek-style yogurt

CHICKEN SOUVLAKI

Chicken Souvlaki image

Souvlaki is usually served with tzatziki, a yogurt sauce with cucumbers. This version has more cucumber than yogurt, for a dish with crunch and freshness but few calories.

LEMON CHICKEN SOUVLAKI

Lemon Chicken Souvlaki image

I had this in Greece and begged for the recipe to no avail. This is my version. I tend to allow the chicken to marinade overnight so that it is more tender and full of flavour. I serve them with green salad, tzatziki and bread. Great for a BBQ.

Trim chicken and cut into large chunks- mine were about 1.5" big and I got 4-6 chunks from each chicken breast.
If you'd like to grill some vegetables along side your chicken, I highly recommend it! We did a skewer of mushrooms, plus we also sliced some white onion to thread along with the chicken. The mushrooms were amazing!! To marinate vegetables, if you just have a few, set aside 3-5 TBSP of the marinade prior to mixing with the chicken. Then just put vegetables & marinade in a separate ziplock bag in the fridge, turning the bag occasionally to mix it. If you're doing a good amount of vegetables, I'd double the marinade instead!
Heat a saucepan over medium heat. {Make sure pan has a lid!} Add in oil. After about a minute, add in rice and saute for 2-3 minutes, stirring often so it doesn't brown too much. Add salt and lemon juice to rice and saute 1 minute more.
