Greek Style Chicken Souvlaki

I’ve done this on skewers and in the oven, works well both ways and have also done tofu for my wife.

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast cut in 1″ pieces
1/2 cup whole milk plain yogurt
1/4 cup Gourmet Garlic Olive Oil
juice from half a lemon
1 Tbsp Oregano White Balsamic
1 tsp sea salt
fresh ground pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

Place the marinade ingredients into a bowl and whisk thoroughly. Put the chicken and marinade into a zip-lock bag or container with a lid. Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or up to 24 hours.

To cook the chicken, prepare a grill for indirect cooking, or preheat the oven to 400 F. The chicken can be cooked on skewers or in a single layer on a greased broiler pan.

If grilling, place the skewered chicken on to the grill over indirect heat turning every two minutes to cook all sides of the chicken, for approximately 8 minutes in total. Remove and allow to rest briefly while covered.

If broiling in the oven, either skewer the chicken or place in a single layer on a mesh cooking rack or broiler pan. Cook the chicken on the top rack at 450 F for 6 minutes and then turn the broiler on for an additional 4 minutes of broiling. Turn the chicken to brown each side. Serve immediately.
