I turned hubs on to real souvlaki this weekend. Let's just say he is a BIG fan. This was the recipe I used and now it is here for posterity! Thank you to the https://www.themediterraneandish.com/ for the recipe.
- 10 garlic cloves, peeled
- 2 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- 1 tsp each Kosher salt and black pepper
- 1/4 cup Private Reserve Greek extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 bay leaves
- In the bowl of a small food processor, add garlic, oregano, rosemary, paprika, salt, pepper, olive oil, white wine, and lemon juice (do NOT add the dried bay leaves yet). Pulse until well combined.
- Place chicken in a large bowl and add bay leaves. Top with marinade. Toss to combine, making sure chicken is well-coated with marinade. cover tightly and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight
- We cut 2 very large chicken breasts into cubes and then marinaded them for a few hours before threading the pieces on skewers and grilling them. We served it with flour wraps (couldn't find greek pitas), tzatziki, and an array of fresh vegetables and greens (It was a build your own sandwich type set up). Although, most people just ate the meat right off the skewers, lol.
