Grilled Chicken Souvlaki
is always a favorite grilled chicken at my house. The marinade makes the most tender, moist and flavorful chicken. This chicken is gluten-free and easy to prepare. (keto, gluten free, whole30, paleo)
Summer is in full swing here - it's so hot. It's almost hard to think about getting out in the heat and grilling but I cherish every summer day. Must grill as much as I can!
I grill my chicken like this all the time and everyone - I repeat - everyone in my family will eat it! That's a huge win. When you are a mom of three, you know what it's like to always have that one kid who doesn't like what you made. It's not always the same kid, but there is always one. Do you always have one?
Marinating this Greek Chicken Souvlaki keeps it moist and tender...
- lemon juice
- lemon zest
- oil (olive or avocado oil)
- garlic
- thyme
- salt and pepper
Marinating your chicken in lemon juice makes it so tender while the thyme and garlic add flavor. We have all had bland chicken breasts that have been overcooked on the grill. Been there, done that. This is not one of those cases. If you follow the directions here, you will be very pleased with the results.
I know I always say this, but I almost always tenderize my chicken breasts with the flat side of the mallet. It really works. Plus pounding it to an even thickness makes it easier to cook it evenly. Trust me on this peeps!
The tzatziki sauce is a nice, creamy complement to chicken but just leave it off if you prefer. The chicken tastes delicious without it.
