Ingredients
- 3 lb Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 1/2 c. Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1/2 c. Extra Virgin Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsp. Fresh Oregano, Minced Salt to Taste
- 8 x 12" Skewers
Directions
- Today's recipe is our final installment of our Greek Easter Feast, and we're going to end our feast much like where we began, with another appetizer. This is an easy-to-prepare recipe which has some interesting variations if you would prefer it as a main course for a non-Easter event, like dinner tonight.
- Although the traditional recipe was originally prepared with lamb on Easter Sunday, the chicken-based recipe is just as savory. We hope you've enjoyed your Greek Easter Feast as we are prepared to move on to a few Passover Preparations starting tomorrow.
- Cut the chicken breasts into long, straight slices about and inch or possibly two wide and thread the chicken strips onto the skewers. In a shallow pan
- (large sufficient for the skewers) combine the remaining ingredients and pour over the skewered chicken strips. Season with salt to taste and chill for at least 2-hrs, making sure to turn once while refrigerating in order to thoroughly marinate.
- On a very warm grill, or possibly cast iron pan over medium-high heat, cook the chicken, basting frequently with the remaining marinade. Cook for 7 to 10-min and make sure to turn occasionally. Serve hot on the skewer.
- Kitchen Staff Tip: Prepare all ingredients as directed, except cut the chicken into bit-size chunks, rather than strips for the skewer.
- Chill and cook or possibly grill as directed. Serve in a pita with minced tomatoes, cucumbers and onions. A delicious lunch-time variation!
