Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken breast
• 100 grams Low-fat Greek yogurt
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 medium Red onion
• 10 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 2 medium Bell peppers
• 4 pieces Whole wheat pita bread
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into small cubes, approximately 1-inch pieces.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

Add the chicken pieces into the marinade and stir to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Step 4

While the chicken is marinating, soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 5

Slice the red onion into wedges, halve the cherry tomatoes, and cut the bell peppers into 1-inch squares.

Step 6

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and bell peppers onto the skewers, alternating between each piece.

Step 8

Grill the skewers for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and has a nice char.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the skewers carefully.

Step 10

Warm the whole wheat pita bread on the grill for about a minute on each side.

Step 11

Serve the souvlaki by sliding the ingredients off the skewers and onto the warmed pita bread.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
