GREEK CHICKEN SOUVLAKI

I can't wait to share this Greek Chicken Souvlaki recipe with you!

Since last time I’ve started a new job, bought a new house, got married, and just got back from our honeymoon!

We honeymooned in Greece for 10 days and truly had the most magical time ✨. I was LOVING the food, so of course I had to try to make some when I got back. I’ve made chicken souvlaki before, but after learning some new techniques I'm confident that this recipe is the best one yet!

Even though this recipe is for Greek Chicken Souvlaki skewers on the grill, you can cook this chicken any way. I've used the same marinade for whole chicken breasts, pan fried it, oven-baked it, and even air-fried it! It's so versatile and pairs well with so many recipes.
