Introduction

Bring the vibrant flavors of Greece to your next gathering with these Ultimate Chicken Souvlaki Party Skewers. Juicy, marinated chicken grilled to perfection and served alongside a colorful board of classic accompaniments makes this dish a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

A round wooden board holds five skewers of grilled chicken cubes, showing charred and golden-brown layers with green herb sprinkles, placed mostly across the bottom half. To the left are two lemon wedges beside a small bowl filled with light beige hummus topped with green herbs and a drizzle of olive oil. Above this is a cluster of dark purple olives next to a bunch of bright red cherry tomatoes on the vine, shiny and fresh. To the right are three triangular pieces of toasted pita bread stacked on top of each other, and near them is a small bowl of white cottage cheese garnished with green herbs. Several thin rounds of green cucumber with herb sprinkles are placed next to the cheese. The whole platter sits on a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
Warm pita bread, cut into wedges
Tzatziki sauce
Hummus
Kalamata olives
Cherry tomatoes
Cucumber slices
Red onion, thinly sliced
Feta cheese, crumbled
Fresh parsley, chopped
Lemon wedges

Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2: Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, mix well to coat, then cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for the best flavor.
Step 3: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers evenly.
Step 4: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 5: Grill the chicken skewers for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred.
Step 6: Arrange the cooked chicken skewers on a large board or platter alongside warmed pita wedges, tzatziki, hummus, kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, crumbled feta, and lemon wedges.
Step 7: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Tips & Variations

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
For a smoky flavor, cook the skewers over charcoal or add a small amount of smoked paprika to the marinade.
Swap chicken for lamb or pork cubes for a different traditional twist.
Serve with warm pita or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauces.

Storage

Store leftover cooked chicken skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to avoid drying out the meat. Keep the accompaniments separate to maintain freshness.
