Ingredients
Method
- Prepare the marinade. In the bowl of a small food processor, add garlic, oregano, rosemary, paprika, salt, pepper, olive oil, white wine, and lemon juice (do NOT add the dried bay leaves yet). Pulse until well combined.
- Place chicken in a large bowl and add bay leaves. Top with marinade. Toss to combine, making sure chicken is well-coated with marinade. Cover tightly and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
- Soak 10 to 12 wooden skewers in water for 30 to 45 minutes. Prepare Tzatziki sauce and other fixings.
- When ready, thread marinated chicken pieces through the prepared skewers.
- Prepare outdoor grill (or griddle). Brush grates with oil and heat. Cook chicken skewers until browned and internal temperature registers 160°F, about 5 minutes total.
- Transfer chicken to serving platter and let rest for 3 minutes. Meanwhile, briefly grill pitas and keep warm.
- Assemble grilled chicken souvlaki pitas by spreading Tzatziki sauce on pita, adding chicken pieces, then veggies and olives.
- Optional: Add more items to your buffet, such as Greek salad, watermelon salad, or a Mezze platter.
Notes
Enjoy your Greek chicken souvlaki with fresh pita and a colorful salad!
