In our house The chicken Souvlaki is a staple. Served with a salad either by itself or on a Pita bread with tzatziki.

My daughter will only eat homemade ones .

You can use either breast or thigh fillets but I prefer thigh fillets

• 3 tbsp dried oregano
• 3/4 tsp salt
• Black pepper

TO COOK / SERVE​

TZATZIKI optional . I have added a recipe for tzatziki before . Or buy from deli or Coles. We like the brand Chris​

Recipe can be halved or doubled. I try to make extra for the next day, although no matter how many I make they are all eaten.​

Breast fillets tend to dry out quickly
