Chicken Souvlaki

Cultural Context

Chicken souvlaki is a beloved street food in Greece, originating from the ancient tradition of grilling meat on skewers. It represents the Mediterranean diet's emphasis on fresh ingredients and bold flavors. Today, souvlaki is enjoyed worldwide, often served with pita and various toppings, making it a popular choice for casual dining and gatherings.

GRGRmain
4 servings
Servings4
900 g (2 pounds) skinless chicken thighs
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp lemon zest
2 tsp salt
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tbsp garlic and herb seasoning
½ tbsp fresh dill
1 tbsp fresh mint
2 garlic cloves (minced)
½ tsp sweet paprika
½ tsp ground cumin
red onion (sliced very thinly)
flat leaf parsley (finely chopped)
large vine tomatoes (sliced thinly)
pita bread
450 g (1 ½ cups) strained Greek Yogurt (full fat)
1/2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1

Coarsely grate the cucumber in a bowl and sprinkle with the salt. Let it stand for 5 minutes and then use a cheesecloth (or your hands) to squeeze most of the moisture out.

2

Mix well with the yogurt, garlic, herbs and lemon juice and drizzle with olive oil. Cover and put in the fridge until needed to allow the flavours to develop.

3

Slice the chicken into bite sized pieces, removing any large pieces of fat.

4

Mix all the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl. Add the diced meat, mix to combine, cover and leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.

5

Thread the chicken on the skewers and preheat the Air Fryer for 3 minutes at 190°C (375°F).

6

Place the skewers on a rack and air fry for 10 minutes, flipping over halfway through.

7

Mix the sliced onion with the chopped parsley and have all your souvlaki fillings ready.

8

Briefly pan fry the pitas to warm them up then add a little onion, tzatziki and sliced tomatoes.

9

Add the meat (off the skewers) and season with a little smoked paprika. Wrap the pitta around the fillings, using a little greaseproof paper to hold everything together if you like. Eat immediately!
