The title of this recipe is lemon chicken souvlaki which means the star of the show is lemon and lot so it. Marinating for 24 hours in such a large quantity of acid seems a bit odd but the lemon breaks down the chicken flesh and really shines. Enjoy
2-3 servings
Ingredients
1 lb or 2 large boneless chicken breasts, washed, dried and cut into 1 in. pieces
1/2 cup of olive oil
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup white wine
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper
2 teaspoons greek oregano
2 cloves garlic crushed
skewers and veggies for garnish


Directions
In a large bowl with fitted top, combine oil, lemon, wine and mix well. Add salt, pepper, oregano, garlic and chicken cubes. Marinate for at least 3 hours or even better overnight in the fridge. Remove marinade from the fridge at least a half hour prior to expected cooking time. Cut veggies of choice and skewer chicken and veggies. Place to the side. Heat a cast iron grill or outdoor grill until very hot and smoking. Place skewers and sear on each side, lower heat and cook through 10-15 minutes.

I've never eaten or ordered chicken souvlaki (I'm a pork girl), but in the last 5 years or so, I've seen lots of them being sold in Greece. Health consciousness has long tentacles.
