Greek style chicken souvlaki

For this recipe you will need:

1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast cut in 1" pieces

Marinade:

1 cup whole milk plain yogurt

1/3 cup garlic olive oil

juice from half a lemon

1 tablespoon oregano white balsamic

2 teaspoons kosher salt

fresh ground pepper to taste

Place the marinade ingredients into a bowl and whisk thoroughly.

Add the chicken and marinade into a ziplock bag or large bowl with a cover.

Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or up to 24 hours.

To cook the chicken, prepare a grill for indirect cooking, or preheat the oven to 400 F. The chicken can be cooked on skewers or in a single layer on a greased broiler pan. If grilling, place the skewered chicken on to the grill over indirect heat, turn every two minutes to cook all sides of the chicken, approximately 8 minutes in total.

Remove and allow to rest briefly while covered.

If broiling in the oven, either skewer the chicken or place in a single layer on a mesh cooking rack or broiler pan.

Cook the chicken on the top rack at 450 F. for 6 minutes and then turn the broiler on for an additional 4 minutes of broiling. Turn the chicken to brown each side.
