Greek Souvlaki image

This is posted in response to a request for "skewer" recipes. A real coincidence as this was being prepared on the food network by Nick Makris from Nick's Diner in Regina Sask - it looked SO GOOD I just had to post it. Use pork or lamb - serving with pita bread is optional but tzatziki is a must! Prep time includes a minimum of 2 hours for marinating.

I'm not a big fan of souvlaki, but this recipe changed my mind. The chicken was so juicy and flavorful.

The chicken was a bit overcooked, but the marinade was delicious. I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. The chicken was a bit dry, and the marinade didn't really add much flavor. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a hit. The chicken is always juicy and flavorful, and the marinade is amazing. I love that I can marinate the chicken ahead of time, which makes it a great option for busy weeknights. Definitel
