Learn how to make your own homemade chicken skewers with fluffy pita bread with this easy to follow traditional Greek chicken souvlaki recipe! And the ideal match for your traditional Greek Chicken souvlaki with pita is of course nothing else than a cooling garlicky Tzaziki sauce (see here: www.mygreekdish...)
Chicken souvlaki is one of the most popular street foods in Greece and for good reason. It tastes like heaven! Souvlaki stands for “meat-on-a-skewer”, however the majority of Greeks and especially those from Athens call any type of pita wrapped meat a souvlaki, specifying the type of meat and method of roasting separately. For example Souvlaki with chicken gyros or Souvlaki with pork skewers etc.
The most important step in making the perfect traditional Greek chicken souvlaki is nothing else but the marinade! For this traditional chicken souvlaki recipe, the chicken is first marinated to soak up all the wonderful Mediterranean flavours and then grilled to high temperature, to get all crunchy, nicely coloured and juicy. Select some good quality chicken breasts and season with a selection of Greek spices like oregano, coat with extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice and flavour with garlic. Marinading your chicken souvlaki in the fridge for at least half an hour will allow the aromas to infuse the souvlaki and give it the desired flavours. Enjoy!
