Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 60 ml Olive oil
- 60 ml Lemon juice
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Dried thyme
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 piece Red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 piece Bell pepper, cut into pieces
- 10 pieces Wooden skewers, soaked in water
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Step 3
Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to enhance the flavors.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating with onion wedges and bell pepper pieces.
Step 6
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks on all sides.
Step 7
Check the chicken for doneness; it should be white and tender inside, with an internal temperature reaching at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Step 9
Serve the Gluten-Free Chicken Souvlaki with your choice of gluten-free pita, Greek salad, or tzatziki sauce.
