A great recipe for the barbecue or the oven if the weather isn’t cooperating.

ingredients

Souvlaki:
  • 2 pounds chicken breasts (cubed)
  • 1 large red onion (chunked)
  • 1 green pepper (chunked)
  • 1 red pepper (chunked)
  • 8 skewers
Marinade:
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • ground pepper to taste
  • 2 bay leaves

directions

  • 1

    Mix all marinade ingredients together in a large nonmetallic bowl or container. Add meat to marinade and marinate 1 to 4 hours.

  • 2

    Thread 6 or 8 pieces of meat on each skewer alternating with onions and peppers.

  • 3

    Place meat skewers on grill for 3 to 6 minutes on each side or in a shallow pan and broil for 3 to 6 minutes per side. The meat should be a little charred in my opinion. Before serving, squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over meat and sprinkle with a bit of oregano.

  • 4

    Serve with tzatziki.

notes

Soak those skewers if you're using wooden ones, otherwise you'll have a charred mess.
