Instructions
Marinate the Chicken
Combine olive oil, lemon juice, and oregano in a bowl then add the cubed chicken. Toss well to coat and let marinate for at least 10 minutes so the flavors develop.
Thread the Skewers
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers leaving a little space between each piece. This helps kids get involved in meal prep and makes cooking more fun.
Grill the Souvlaki
Cook the skewers on a preheated grill or grill pan over medium high heat for 12 to 15 minutes turning every few minutes until chicken is cooked through and lightly charred.
Serve with Pita
Warm the pita bread on the grill for 1 minute and serve the souvlaki skewers alongside tzatziki sauce for dipping. Kids love the interactive dipping experience.
