Preparation -- 10 minutes + 15 minutes waiting time

Clean the chicken breasts by trimming excess fat. Dice the chicken fillets in 2 cm cubes and place it into the bowl. Squeeze juice from the lemon using a citrus juicer, add to the bowl.

Finely chop the cloves of garlic and add into the bowl along with 3 tablespoons dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper, add 4 tablespoons olive oil and mix everything together.

Place the bowl with the diced chicken into the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

Finishing up the chicken souvlaki -- 15 minutes

Fetch the bowl with the marinated diced chicken and grab a handful wooden skewers. Pierce at least 4 pieces of chicken on a wooden skewer. Repeat this step until you've used up all of the chicken.

Heat up a griddle pan on maximum heat. Grill the chicken souvlaki on all sides for 8 - 10 minutes, until nicely browned. Repeat this step for the remaining skewers.

SERVE the chicken souvlaki with pita bread, tzatziki, oven-roasted tomatoes and a nice Greek salad, as can be seen on the pictures. Click on the pictures below to see each of the recipes. Enjoy your meal!
