Description
Our recipe for Mediterranean Chicken Skewers with MarnaMaria Greek Seasoning is easy and awesome and does it's best to recreate the emotions I've at least had eating kebab, gyro, donër, or whatever you call it. We use Mediterranean Oregano that is full of clean and warm flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp. olive oil, divided
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1 tsp. Kosher salt
- 1 tbsp. MarnaMaria Greek Seasoning
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Wooden skewers
Instructions
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least one hour.
- In a medium sized bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup olive oil, lemon juice, chicken stock, salt, MarnaMaria Greek Seasoning and garlic.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the chicken into one inch cubes and add to Greek Seasoning marinade.
- Let marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to four hours. (Be careful not to over marinate or the chicken will disintegrate from the lemon juice.)
- Skewer the chicken piece, we recommend putting three to four pieces on each skewer.
- Heat 2 tbsp. of olive oil in a large, flat pan or grill pan, over medium high heat.
- Cook chicken, four minutes per side, until cooked through. (You can also sear the chicken over high and then place in a 375ºF oven for 15 minutes until fully cooked.)
- Serve with our secret tzatziki recipe.
Notes
These chicken skewers are the perfect base for your favorite chicken pita or doner kebab. In a fresh pita, add tzatziki, chicken, and top with red cabbage, tomatoes, lettuce, white onion, or whatever topping you enjoy.
