Greek chicken souvlaki is one of the most popular recipes in Greek cuisine, perfect for those looking for a tasty, easy, and quick dish. This version with chicken is ideal for an outdoor meal, an informal dinner, or even for preparing ahead of time. The key is the marinade: a mix of lemon, garlic, oregano, thyme, and olive oil that infuses the meat with Mediterranean flavor. Although traditionally made with pork or lamb, chicken is a lighter and healthier alternative without sacrificing taste.
The marinade not only adds flavor but also helps keep the chicken breast juicy and tender. Letting the meat rest in the fridge for at least half an hour allows the spices to penetrate, but if you have time, leave it overnight for an even more intense result.

Cut the chicken breast into small pieces for skewers, put them in a bowl, add the rest of the ingredients, mix well, cover and let it rest in the fridge for at least half an hour. The longer we leave the more spicy flavor the meat will take.
We assemble the skewers and cook them on the grill or however we like.
