Greek Chicken Souvlaki

Greek souvlaki marinated in yogurt, lemon and oregano — the yogurt tenderises the chicken as it marinates, then it's grilled until properly charred on the skewer.

Ingredients

600gchicken breast, cubed
1/2 cupgreek yogurt
1lemon, juiced
to tastegarlic and oregano
1 tbspolive oil

Instructions

1

Marinate the chicken in yogurt, lemon juice, garlic and oregano for at least 20 minutes, since the acidity of the yogurt is what actually tenderises the meat as it sits.

2

Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, packing the pieces snugly so they cook evenly along the length of each skewer.

3

Grill or pan-sear for 10-12 minutes, turning regularly.

4

Continue cooking until properly charred on the outside and cooked all the way through.
