Keto Memorial Day Souvlaki Chicken Kebabs
How to Make It
Step 1
Cut the chicken breast into 1.5 inch cubes. In a mixing bowl, add the chicken pieces, 3 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix to coat the chicken pieces into the marinade evenly. Place the bowl in the fridge to marinate for 30 minutes, or preferably overnight.
Step 2
Preheat a grill pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Assemble the chicken pieces onto skewers. Lightly brush the grill pan with 1 tbsp olive oil.
Step 3
Cook the chicken skewers for 6 minutes on each side until cooked through. Ensure the pan is hot before adding the chicken kebabs to achieve that charred color. Allow the kebabs to cool slightly once cooked.
Step 4
Serve the chicken kebabs with Low-carb pita bread, Greek-style salad, or cauliflower rice. These chicken kebabs pair well with tzatziki sauce, yogurt coriander sauce, or tahini sauce. Store leftover chicken kebabs in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.
