Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 0.25 cups Olive oil
  • 0.25 cups Fresh lemon juice
  • 4 Garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 Red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 Green bell pepper, cut into pieces
  • 12 Cherry tomatoes
  • 12 Wooden skewers, soaked in water

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken cubes into the marinade and stir to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.

Step 4

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 5

Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating with pieces of red onion, green bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes.

Step 6

Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char.

Step 7

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve the gluten-free Greek Souvlaki with your choice of gluten-free flatbread, a side of tzatziki sauce, and a fresh Greek salad for a complete meal.
