Garlic Lemon & Herb Chicken Souvlaki
Ever feel like eating a Greek-style chicken souvlaki, but don’t have any skewers… or a grill? (Just me, then?)
If you thought you needed skewers and a barbecue to whip up some Greek-inspired chicken souvlaki - you were SO wrong! All you need for this recipe is a working oven, a baking tray, and some parchment. (Well… along with a few key ingredients listed below.)
This chicken recipe is great either to prep in bulk for lunch (like in my California Chicken Salad or Greek Chicken Lunch Prep), or to serve warm with some brown rice, Greek salad, pita and homemade Greek Yogurt Tzaziki on the side. It truly is such a versatile recipe that only takes a few minutes to prep, an hour to marinate (while you get sh*t done) and literally 15 minutes to cook.
Easy peasy!
