Chicken Souvlaki {with An Easy Marinade!}
This Chicken Souvlaki is a healthy and delicious take on the classic with a simple homemade marinade! Learn how to make it on the grill, indoors, and exactly what to serve with it!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil sub avocado oil
- Juice of one large lemon
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp parsley chopped
- 2 tsp dill chopped
- 1 ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp oregano
- ¾ tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper omit for AIP
- 1 lb chicken breast cubed
Instructions
- If you're using bamboo skewers, soak in water for an hour to avoid burning.
- Prepare the marinade by whisking the oil, lemon, and seasonings together. Add the chicken to a bowl and pour the marinade over. Cover and chill in the fridge for at least one hour, or overnight.
- After the chicken has marinated, skewer the chicken breast on the skewers and set aside.
- Prepare the grill top (either using an outdoor grill or a stove top cast iron grill pan) by heating it on medium-high and brushing with oil.
- Add the skewers to the grill and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side. Rotate until the chicken is fully grilled and the internal temperature reads 165 F.
- Transfer to a plate and allow to rest. Serve as a pita wrap with a gluten-free pita and tzatziki if desired, or serve on a plate with rice or cauliflower rice and fresh vegetables like cucumber and red onion.

Notes
If you choose to pan-fry, I recommend using a grill pan for grill marks.
If you choose to air-fry, I recommend starting at 400 F and cooking for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through. Be sure to check the internal temperature before serving!
