Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 medium Red onion, cut into wedges
• 2 medium Bell peppers (red or green), cut into pieces
• 8 pieces Wooden skewers, soaked in water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 0 Tzatziki sauce for serving (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours for the best flavor infusion.

Step 4

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables by cutting the red onion and bell peppers into large chunks.

Step 5

Preheat grill to medium-high heat. If you don't have a grill, a grill pan on the stovetop works well too.

Step 6

Thread the marinated chicken, red onion wedges, and bell pepper pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating each ingredient.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the grill, and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.

Step 9

Serve the Chicken Souvlaki skewers hot, optionally garnished with freshly chopped parsley and a side of tzatziki sauce.
