Equipment
- Barbecue or griddle pan
Ingredients
- 3-4 chicken breasts
For the marinade
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 cup good quality white wine
- salt and pepper
- 1 lemon juiced
Ladolimono sauce
- 1 lemon juiced
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Place all ingredients for the marinade in a bowl and whisk to blend them. Cut the chicken breast into 2.5cm cubes. Place the chicken cubes and the marinade in a bowl (or in a freezer bag) and massage the chicken pieces to absorb the marinade better. Leave the marinated chicken in the fridge to marinate for at least 2-3 hours or overnight.
- Thread the chicken cubes loosely on wooden or metal skewers.
- Make the ladolimono dressing by combining all ingredients in a small bowl and whisking them well to blend.
- Cook the chicken skewers on the BBQ or the grill for 10-15 minutes. Turn the skewers frequently with tongs to cook all sides evenly. Drizzle ladolimono sauce over the meat while cooking it.
- Serve the meat with fresh salad, tzatziki dip and pita bread.
