Chicken Souvlaki

Souvlaki are traditional Greek skewers known for their bold, aromatic flavor thanks to a signature blend of herbs and spices used in the marinade. They’re typically served with tzatziki sauce, but this time I went a bit further and served them as a full platter with hummus, feta, olives, pita, and fresh vegetables. It turned out absolutely delicious!

• 1/4 cup lemon juice (60 ml)

• 2 tsp dried oregano

• 2 tsp dried basil

• 1 tsp ground cumin

• 1/2 tsp pepper

Steps
