This is one of my go to recipes on a sunny Summer’s day. A simple recipe that is so tasty and transports me to the Greek islands! Perfect enjoyed in the garden with a cold beer, glass of wine or Greek G&T! Allow some time for marinating.

Recipe makes 4 skewers

• 2 chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch cubes
• pinch of dried oregano
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, quartered
• 2 green peppers, cut into 1 inch squares
• juice of half a lemon
• salt & pepper
• Pita bread
• Tzatziki

1. Put the chicken into a bowl, add the oregano & oil, season with pepper, toss well. Cover & let marinate in the refrigerator for a few hours or ideally overnight.
2. Preheat the grill or light the barbecue.
3. Drain & thread the chicken onto skewers, alternating with the onions & peppers.
4. Brush the souvlaki with some olive oil & a squeeze of lemon juice.
5. Grill or barbecue the skewers, turning twice & brushing frequently with olive oil & lemon.
6. Cook for 10-15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
7. Season with salt, sprinkle with oregano & serve immediately with Pita bread & Tzatziki.

I can highly recommend M&S Greek Style Flatbreads & Tzatziki.
