GREEK CHICKEN SOUVLAKI | The Best Mediterranean Grilled Chicken Skewers

[@Downshiftology]

Hi friends - this Greek chicken souvlaki is perfect for outdoor grilling! What other grilling recipes do you want to see me make next? xo - Lisa

[@0wlyssa]

I'd love more seafood grilling recipes! Your cedar plank salmon is a grilling staple for me, and I can't wait to have it again this summer.

[@_healthycleanrecipes_]

How about a grilled vegetable salad if I don’t ask too much. Maybe with feta cheese on top…(?)I love all the ingredients that you use for flavoring your recipes .🤗❤️

[@Downshiftology]

@@_healthycleanrecipes_ I'll definitely keep that in mind for a future grilling recipe!

[@Downshiftology]

@@0wlyssa Oh yes, that one is so delicious! I'll be sure to test more grilling recipes soon ;)

[@_healthycleanrecipes_]

Thank you so much.🤗Can’t wait ! Your creativity and dedication in the kitchen amazes me. I love to cook for my family and I started to post some of my recipes then I saw your channel and started to watch video after video. You are fantastic! Keep doing what you do because you are great!❤️🤗👏

[@thelonereed2765]

Let’s spread Greek recipes around the world. Mediterranean dishes are tasty and healthy 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷

[@OnlyFriendsAreAliens]

If there's one thing Greeks know it's how to prepare food. I had two Greek brother-in-laws [one just recently passed away at 91; may God rest his soul]. They both owned restaurants, so I can truthfully say Greeks know food! Souvlaki is an incredible sample of that knowledge. Thank you for sharing your recipe.😮

[@thelonereed2765]

We do know food indeed. Greetings from Greece. 🇬🇷

[@Dinki-Di]

I’d recommend adding the zest of the lemon to the marinade as well. Citrus zest is such a flavour boost.

[@Downshiftology]

Thanks for the recommendation!

[@maryanafsahi3530]

I disagree with the zest as not everyone can buy organic. If you watch 🍋 documentaries you will see of how much fungicide imazilil ect. Personally, I don't fancy the zest as it's super hard to remove it's impurity 😂

[@Maria_peris]

Yummy!!! It is so good!!! You rock it! Greek girl here, hope you enjoy it! You can use between the meat parts a piece of onion and then pepper. It gives extra taste. Hope you enjoy!!!

[@Downshiftology]

Absolutely! Similar to my Greek chicken kabobs: downshiftology.com/recipes/greek-chicken-kabobs/

[@maryanafsahi3530]

The salad beside it looks very appetizing. It's hard enough to control the 🐔 breast on the skewer and not burn it. I have had it in the past with pepper 🌶️🫑 and 🧅, usually, they burn it hence carcigenic. Does anyone think or care or refuse the dish, like a burnt pizza, not really. They all eat it and say yummy 😋

[@BH-oq7pz]

I LOVE Mediterranean food!!...but...being Mexican, I was intimidated to cook it...HOWEVER, you just gave me the encouragement to try this dish!...it looks so good, light, healthy, and EASY...❤🤗👍👍

[@Fiona-l8k]

I drink the water from the squeezed out cucumber, just a little taster for myself, so delicious and so refreshing.

[@Mrsrchy17]

Yeah, you could squeeze it into a bottle or glass of water and drink it like a water infusion. ♥️

[@maryanafsahi3530]

Unfortunately the 🥒 today have mosaic virus, check it out x

[@tenofziger]

I made this twice this Memorial Day weekend (along with your tzatziki recipe) and it was a HIT! Love, love, love!

[@greatbiyoshi]

Made the souvlaki and tzatziki sauce tonight. Used the grill and decided to add some vegetable skewers on the side. Knocked it out of the park with this one! My Husband couldn’t stop talking about how amazing it was and I wholeheartedly agree. Followed the exact recipes and was not disappointed! Thanks for another top tier meal. Will be on rotation this summer! 👏🏻👩🏻‍🍳

[@michellebelna1132]

Made this tonight for dinner. Delicious, delicious, delicious! This is definitely going on my summer grilling rotation. Thank you for another great recipe!

[@umaumak]

I dashed over and bought metal skewers and I have cooked this Chicken Souvlaki recipe already three times and it is SOOOOO GOOOD!!! LOVE this recipe, thank you!

[@Natashaskitchen]

This looks so good 😋. I'm adding it to my recipes to try this summer.

[@philrichards9761]

Solution to the meat spinning on the skewers problem, especially if you have round rather than flat spits: two of them through the meat! I love everything on this channel. Nothing ever seems to come out poorly. Such well-designed recipes.

[@coralpetals]

I made this chicken yesterday along with your tzatziki and Greek salad recipes and everything was delicious! Thank you, Lisa!

[@Crus072]

Great recipe! I love these classic greek recipes. For the tzaziki I use 1/3rd of a garlic clove and it still works really good.

[@cjblack5925]

You never cease to amaze me. Thank you!

[@Downshiftology]

I hope you love this Greek chicken souvlaki!

[@cjblack5925]

I love practically everything you make and Mediterranean is my absolute favorite!

[@radiantmasterpiece5649]

This was incredible and the juiciest chicken I cooked in the oven I will definitely be making this again and again!

[@sylviaweimholt2309]

I made it for dinner along with the tzatziki sauce and Greek salad and it was delicious! Thank you so much for sharing! 😊

[@Downshiftology]

Sounds great! Glad this was a hit 🥰

[@stellabythesea1492]

I made it in my air fryer. It was delicious and so was the Taziki !

[@stace7685]

I loved this chicken. It was easy to make and the sauce was great! I did serve it over a bed of mixed lettuce with a little bit of greek vinegarette. Thanks for sharing this.

[@discostu8900]

I had to make this the minute I saw this video everything about it is delicious the Mediterranean diet is like a cheat code for life delicious simple recipes that are healthy more Mediterranean recipes please also the sauce is phenomenal

[@Downshiftology]

You got it! And if you need more inspiration for Mediterranean recipes, I've got a bunch here on my website: downshiftology.com/best-mediterranean-recipes/

[@brindabanerjea1158]

Just wonderful . Will try. Could you please share a tour of your kitchen and share how your counter tops are so clean😀/ no clutter ever!

[@warringwomenofzion3427]

I have always loved every recipe I've tried of yours. Thank you! ❤

[@conker3425]

Now I know what to make with the chicken tenders in my fridge for dinner tomorrow night. Thanks!

[@lilianatofan1203]

I really like when you dig your hands into the food bowl. ❤

[@christinemarcombe6167]

You are so right! I bought your Meal Prep book and use it all the time along with watching your inspiring channel. Love tasty healthy food and variety! Thank you so much, Lisa!

[@Downshiftology]

Happy to hear you're loving your new book!

[@marvella27]

Tried it yesterday and it was really delicious. Will try some other recipes of yours

[@maryanafsahi3530]

You are amazing and outstanding in my opinion. I have watched a lot of professional chefs practicing for years like Jamie Oliver using a lot of condiments, full of not very healthy ingredients. All your ingredients are very natural, and well done you, not promoting rubbish supermarket, sauces and making your recipe, only with natural ingredients. I admire you and will be looking out for more recipes put together by you. Yes definitely thumbs up ❤❤

[@ThuvarakaMahenthiran404]

I will try this grilled chilcken skewers woth greek salad. You are amazing Lisa. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Downshiftology]

The Greek chicken skewers and Greek salad are the perfect pairing! Enjoy ❤

That tsasiki sauce can go with anything and make any dish better! ❤

Couldn't agree more!

A perfect summer dish. Going to make this one for sure. Thanks for sharing Lisa.

[@Downshiftology]

This will definitely be a summertime hit!

[@kathymanzo4061]

[@Downshiftology]

Oh wonderful! I'm glad you're loving your cookbook Cheryl ;)

[@Tylrgvn]

Cant wait to make this, it looks delicious!

[@Downshiftology]

You're going to love these Greek chicken skewers!

[@dianneferraro7969]

Drain the yogurt in a fine sieve to remove the water as well for a thicker yogurt

[@latmcb9863]

This looks so yummy! Your kitchen is beautiful. Will you be giving us a full kitchen tour? Thanks!

[@Downshiftology]

I will as soon as I have finished furnishing everything and decorating :)

[@ritak6329]

Yum! I love putting mint and parsley in my tzatziki and it’s soooo yummy!

[@Downshiftology]

The best way to amp up tzatziki!

[@261COLLINS]

Looks so yummy!! This will definitely be on my menu this weekend.

[@WelshLioness]

​@@Downshiftology They were delicious, really refreshing, we loved it 🤓

[@KrisLacy]

Great video. I have noticed a big difference in Greek olive oil vs others such as Italian. I would suggest trying it, you may never go back. Also if you are looking for a grill with a small footprint and very capable l would try Rec Teq bullseye or bullseye deluxe.

[@andreafischbach]

You made my decision. I am in albania right now with my camper van. And I was thinking about going to north macedonia or greece. Now I am going to greece. Mand thanks

[@Demure12577]

[@MyCozyLife-Lisa]

This looks absolutely delicious. Thank you😊

[@Downshiftology]

Hope you enjoy!

[@NassosZotis]

Very nice recipe! I do it all the time, especially when you combine it with the original Greek pita. 1 comment on the tzatziki. The original recipe uses vinegar instead of lemon and usually not that much dill, because in Greece dill has a strong flavor. The biggest debate in Greece, is the quantity of garlic. :D :D

[@thelonereed2765]

Great point there. Dill is strong here. 🇬🇷

[@dianegreiner4054]

Yummm!!! I will definitely have to make this! 😊

[@nellyramirez2705]

How delicious, I will give it a try ! 😋

[@JamesDumas-b1x]

A delicious, healthy, light, meal. Maybe some olives and feta in the salad?

[@Downshiftology]

Absolutely! I also have this Greek salad you can make: downshiftology.com/recipes/greek-salad/

[@DeLisaGoble-x9b]

So ready to try this one! Thank you..

[@mariarohmer2374]

Scrumptious!😋😋

[@robynharris8736]

Yes! Looks amazing. Going to make this tonight. Had taken some organic chicken breasts out of the freezer this morning. Can't wait to try it. Thank you for sharing! ❤ Quick question, where did you purchase your garlic press? Ooopsies, I just realized you listed all of your utensils, brilliant! Unfortunately, the Oxo garlic press is out of stock 😢

[@Downshiftology]

Hope you loved this grilled chicken recipe! And oh, thanks for catching that. I'll look into other garlic press alternatives and update that info in the description.

[@LourdesJovel]

I love it! Thank you 😊

[@NS-bp8yv]

Hi Lisa! After memorial day weekend I am thinking about doing the last whole 30 you posted. Which led me to the thought.....it might be cool if Lisa did weekly meal prep videos for a month of whole 30....just a thought😊

[@NS-bp8yv]

BTW, your tzatsiki recipe is the best I've ever had!!! My family loves it!

[@Ramyapad19]

Cant wait to make this soon for me can i use tofu i never had greek chicken souvlaki before perfect for my after office meals

[@Downshiftology]

You're going to love this Greek chicken souvlaki!

[@chcnsac]

Love this! ❤

[@Notable2Nikki]

This is a go to for me!

[@Downshiftology]

This will be the perfect summer grilling recipe!

[@lilysgram5886]

My kind of recipe! 😋😋😋

[@klimtkahlo]

Now some onions and peppers cut in squares and permeated through the meat, that is great!

[@Downshiftology]

Just like my Green chicken kabobs here: downshiftology.com/recipes/greek-chicken-kabobs/

[@CccCcc-kq7mm]

Healthy and simple 😋😋😋😋👋👋👍👍

[@kyralise]

Thanks for this recipe and meal suggestion. how long can the leftover tzatziki be stored in the fridge?

[@Dindaol]

Lovely ❤

[@Downshiftology]

Enjoy!

[@RQF5961]

Thanks for the recipe! Is there a max amount of time to marinade?

[@Downshiftology]

No longer than 24 hours.

[@paulreyes-l7h]

Beautiful 😍😮

[@bridgettekirschenmann3281]

Any suggestions for a non-dairy greek yogurt alternative to use in the tzatziki dip that tastes good?

[@noname.1890]

it’s difficult to get the same taste as you need proper Greek yoghurt (10% fat or higher) to make a good tzatziki

[@bobroberts6005]

Okg. Looks so good

[@이제그만나좀놔줘]

우와~맛있겠다🤤

[@josiebare3007]

Made me hungry

[@ronm6585]

Thank you.

[@randomharts]

Yes!!!❤

[@beckysmith1178]

Sounds good except I don't really like the flavor of dill. Would there be a good substitute for dill to use? Because dill is overpowering of a flavor to me and reminds me too much of pickles. I do love pickles but I don't want that flavor in other things really. I might could take it if I could use less dill along with whatever you suggest. Thank you for this great healthy idea!

[@meenakshiexplores]

Yummy ❤❤from India

[@babs9576]

Looks yummy! Is there a way to print the recipe?

[@babs9576]

NVM, found it haha

[@Downshiftology]

You can always find the printable recipe (with all my notes in the post) linked in the video description :)
