souvlaki marinade

Juicy, tender, and moist, baked chicken breast with the best Greek souvlaki marinade is the most flavorful and delicious chicken dinner in under 30 minutes.

Baked Chicken Breast with Greek Souvlaki Marinade

olive oil

lemon juice lemon

garlic, pressed

tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

oregano

mint (or dill)

paprika (optional)

salt

black pepper

chicken

In a medium bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, oregano, dill, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Place chicken breasts a large shallow bowl and pour the marinade over top. Toss chicken in the marinade to ensure that they are fully coated.

Cover the bowl with plastic cling wrap and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour to allow the chicken to marinate.

Preheat oven to 450 F. Place chicken on a quarter sheet baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink inside and the internal temperature reaches 165 F in the thickest part of the chicken breast (as read on a meat thermometer).

Remove the chicken out of the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes. Serve warm with a side of Greek salad, pita bread, rice pilaf, and Greek lemon roasted potatoes. And don't forget the tzatziki sauce.

Don’t look further.  This really works.

Great flavor on the marinade! The only modification I'd make is cooking the chicken to 160 before taking it out - the residual heat will bring it up to 165, but cooking it up to 165 made it a little overcooked and chewy.

Baked Greek Souvlaki Chicken Breast

Quick and easy, grilled Greek lamb souvlaki skewers are marinated in a simple Mediterranean marinade for just 30 minutes. Serve with some tzatziki sauce. 

Greek Lamb Souvlaki Skewers

lb. lamb leg

olive oil, divided

tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed

garlic, minced

Italian seasoning

cumin powder

salt (or

Marinate the lamb. Add cubed lamb into a zip-loc bag, and add 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, cumin, salt and pepper. Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly. Press the marinade around the lamb to coat. Place in the fridge to marinate at least 30 minutes or overnight, to infuse all the seasoning and spices into the meat.

Skewer the lamb

. Thread the lamb onto skewers, and lightly brush some olive oil.

Grill the skewers

. Preheat a grill pan over medium high heat for 4-5 minutes and lightly brush the grill with remaining olive oil. You should notice the oil shimmer and sizzle when it's hot and ready. Grill the lamb skewers for 8-10 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature for the lamb reaches 155 F. For well done, cook 1-2 more minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches above 160 F.

Whilst the marinade is good, the salt content is way way waaay too much! I put in less than a tablespoon and it was still far too much. 
Highly suggest anyone trying the recipe to add salt to taste, not to recipe.
