Kitten’s Greek Chicken Souvlaki
You should get about 5 or 6 skewers, do not marinade longer than 6 hours or the lemon juice or vinegar will start to “cook” the chicken, since this is a full-flavor marinade a short marinating time is good enough… if you like a little heat then add in some cayenne pepper to the marinade, I most always do! ![]()
Serve with my Tzatziki recipe posted HERE
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup olive oil (can use 1/2 cup each olive oil and vegetable or Canola oil)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice or red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon salt
6 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon dried oregano (rubbed between fingers to release the flavor)
1-2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper or lemon pepper
2 teaspoons honey (do not substitute sugar for the honey)
6 large boneless chicken breast, cut into about 1 or 1-1/2-inch cubes
2 medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise, then cut into 3/4 or 1-inch pieces
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Add in the chicken and toss to coat with the marinade.
Seal bag and refrigerate for 3-6 hours turning the bag several times during refrigeration time to insure even marinating (do not marinade for more than 6 hours or the lemon juice or vinegar will start “cook” the chicken) .
Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade.
Thread the chicken and zucchini, alternately onto each of 5 or 6 skewers.
Sprinkle each skewer lightly with fresh ground black pepper and salt if desired.
Grill over medium-high heat turning skewers frequently until the chicken is cooked through (about 8-10 minutes).
