Of course, a simple Greek salad on the side is a nice addition. - Becky A. Drees, Pittsfield, Massachusetts

Steps:

  • Chicken:
  • In large bowl whisk together all the souvlaki ingredients, except the chicken. Reserve 1 1/2 tablespoons for Round 2 Recipe Greek Flat Bread. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and add to the pan. Cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl combine all the tzatziki sauce ingredients and set aside.

  • Prep the chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into even, bite-sized pieces. I recommend cutting the chicken breast vertically (length-wise) into three pieces (if it is a large chicken breast), and cutting cubes off of that.
  • Marinate: In a mixing bowl, mix the chicken with the mayonnaise, lemon juice and zest, garlic, and seasonings and spices. Marinade for at least 30 minutes, but if you have less time that is ok! The longer the chicken marinates, the better the flavour!
  • Skewer the chicken: If you are going to use skewers on the barbecue or on a grill pan, make sure you soak the wooden skewers for approximately 30 minutes. This prevents burning when on the barbecue! Skewer 6-8 bite-sized pieces per skewer.
  • Cook the chicken: In general, these skewers take approximately 10-15 minutes to cook through. If you are making these in the oven, I recommend preheating the oven to 375 degrees, and if in the air fryer I would preheat to 400 degrees, to get a good crust on the chicken.
