"O Souvlaki grego de frango apresenta cubos tenros marinados em azeite extravirgem, alho, suco de limão fresco e orégano seco, grelhados no espeto de madeira até ficarem dourados. Vale a pena preparar pela leveza refrescante dos temperos mediterrâneos e pela extrema praticidade de cocção."

Greek Skewers: Juicy Chicken Souvlaki

O Que Você Precisa Saber

- Soak the barbecue skewers in water for 20 minutes so they don't dry out and catch fire on the grill. - Marinate the chicken for at least 20 to 30 minutes to soften the muscle fibers with the olive oil and lemon. - Grill over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, turning the sides regularly to obtain an even golden color.

Ingredients

Main Course

800 g of cubed chicken breast
1/4 cup of olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
Juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon of dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Barbecue skewers

Instructions

Main Course

In a container, mix the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper.

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and let rest for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the barbecue skewers, leaving them soaking in water so they don't burn.

Preheat the grill or barbecue over medium heat.

Assemble the skewers, alternating the chicken with pieces of onion and bell pepper, if desired.

Coloque os espetinhos na grelha e cozinhe por 10-15 minutos, virando-os ocasionalmente.

The skewers are ready when the chicken is well cooked and golden.

Serve hot, accompanied by tzatziki sauce or a refreshing salad.

Chef Tips

- Pat the chicken breast cubes dry before seasoning so the olive oil and oregano marinade adheres evenly. - Interleave pieces of red onion and bell pepper between the meat cubes to add moisture and perfume during grilling. - Squeeze extra fresh lemon juice over the skewers the instant they come off the embers or grill.

Variations

- Souvlaki no prato: sirva a carne solta do espeto sobre uma generosa camada de arroz pilaf temperado com ervas. - Souvlaki wrap no pão pita: envolva os cubos de frango em pão pita morno com fatias de tomate, cebola roxa e molho tzatziki. - Souvlaki com queijo feta: salpique queijo feta esfarelado e azeitonas pretas sobre a carne quente após retirar da grelha.

Substitutions

- Peito de frango: pode ser preparado com cubos de sobrecoxa desossada ou carne de lombo suíno cortado em cubos. - Orégano seco: use orégano fresco desfolhado, tomilho ou manjerona para notas herbais aromáticas. - Suco de limão: substitua por vinagre de vinho branco suave com uma colher de chá de raspas de limão.

How to Store

Store the meat from the skewers in a container with a lid in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet greased with a few drops of olive oil or in a medium oven for about 8 minutes.

Can You Freeze It?

The raw marinated skewers can be frozen assembled in a closed bag for up to 90 days. Defrost completely inside the refrigerator before baking on the hot grill.

What to Serve With

Serve mandatorily with Greek tzatziki sauce (based on Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, and garlic), warmed pita bread, and rustic potatoes with oregano. A salad of ripe tomato with olive oil and a glass of white wine pair perfectly.
