Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Chicken breast
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Lemon juice
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Oregano, dried
• 1 teaspoon Thyme, dried
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 Red onion, cut into chunks
• 2 Bell peppers, any color, cut into chunks
• 12 Wooden skewer sticks, soaked in water

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes, mix well to ensure even coating, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 4

While the chicken is marinating, soak the wooden skewers in a bowl of water to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 5

Prepare the red onion and bell peppers by cutting them into approximately 1-inch pieces to match the size of the chicken cubes.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken chunks onto the soaked skewers, alternating with pieces of onion and bell pepper.

Step 8

Once all skewers are assembled, grill the souvlaki for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char on the outside.

Step 9

Remove skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the soy-free Greek souvlaki with your choice of side dishes such as tzatziki, pita bread, or a fresh Greek salad.
