Chicken Souvlaki with Greek Salad and Rice

Just cut boneless chicken breasts into cubes and thread on to skewers. Rub with minced garlic, sprinkle with oregano, salt and pepper and squeeze a lemon over it.

Cook the rice, heat the grill and make the salad.

This is just a basic outline. No real recipe with exact measurements needed for this dish.

Chicken Souvlaki
================
Chicken breasts
Fresh minced garlic
dried oregano
lemons
olive oil
Salt
Pepper

Cut chicken breasts into 1 inch cubes

Place on wooden Skewers that have been soaked in water (prevents sticks from burning.. or on metal skewers.

Rub with fresh minced garlic and dried oregano

Squeeze fresh lemons over chicken and some olive oil

Salt and pepper

Marinate for up to 1 hour. If marinating longer do not add lemon juice until the last hour. Lemon juice "cooks" the flesh and changes the texture.

Place on hot grill and turn often until done. Serve with Greek salad and rice.

NOTE: This recipe works well with Pork (I use Pork Tenderloin) and with Lamb
