Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Wooden or metal skewers
- Pita bread and tzatziki sauce for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
- Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, coating each piece thoroughly, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers (soak wooden skewers beforehand) and preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
- Let the skewers rest before serving with warm pita bread and tzatziki sauce.
Notes
- Marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours for optimal flavor.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Use medium-high heat for grilling to achieve a good char.
- Turn skewers frequently for even cooking.
- Serve with pita and tzatziki for a complete meal.
