This Chicken Souvlaki is grilled to perfection and marinated in a deliciously bright marinade with citrus, red wine vinegar, and fresh parsley. Tender and filled with flavor, this chicken souvlaki can be served with pita bread, fresh cucumbers and tomatoes, and Greek yogurt sauce.
In a mixing bowl whisk the lemon juice, zest, oil, honey, vinegar and seasonings. Stir in the chicken pieces and mix to coat. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes or more if refrigerated.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine all yogurt sauce ingredients and refrigerate until ready to use.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto 6-8 skewers.
Preheat a grill pan or an outdoor grill to medium heat.
Add chicken skewers and cook, flipping them several times, for around 10-12 minutes in total.
Serve the chicken skewers with the yogurt sauce and freshly chopped veggies like cucumber, tomatoes and pitted kalamata olives.
Notes
Be sure to cook the chicken to at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
You can use maple syrup in place of the honey.
If using bamboo skewers, then be sure to soak them in water prior to use.
