Oven Chicken Souvlaki

Instructions

Marinate the chicken.

Cut the chicken into 1.5-inch (4cm) pieces.

In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Pour the marinate over the chicken pieces and mix well to coat.

Cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Preheat the oven to 425F (220C) grill function.

Skewer the chicken.

Thread the marinated chicken onto metal or soaked wooden skewers. If you don't want to skewer, you can place the pieces directly on a parchment paper lined baking sheet or use a wire rack over a baking sheet for better air circulation.

Arrange the chicken skewers onto a rack that is placed over a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

Grill for 12-15 minutes until chicken starts to blacken in spots.

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Serve with warm pita bread, tzatziki, tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion, or alongside rice or with a simple Greek salad and roasted potatoes.
