Instructions
Chicken Souvlaki Marinade
- In a small bowl, whisk lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper together until smooth. Place chicken in a large bowl or resealable bag and pour marinade over top, making sure chicken is evenly submerged.
- Marinate chicken in refrigerator at least 2 hours or up to 12.
Tzatziki Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk all sauce ingredients until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Bowls
- Combine zucchini and sweet peppers in a large bowl and toss with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Thread vegetables onto skewers.
- Remove chicken from marinade and thread onto skewers, taking care to evenly space chicken chunks out on skewers.
- Heat grill to medium-high heat. Once heated, arrange chicken and vegetable skewers on grill and turn occasionally 8-10 minutes until chicken registers 165F and vegetables are tender.
- Assemble the bowls by dividing hot rice or other grain between 4 serving bowls. Top each bowl with chicken skewers, vegetable skewers, cherry tomatoes, olives, and feta.
- Serve bowls with tzatziki sauce on top along with shredded lettuce, flatbread, and additional fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
