Notes

1. To make ahead, pop the chicken in the marinade in ziplock bags and freeze straight away. Then the chicken will marinate as it defrosts. Thread onto skewers and cook per recipe directions.

2. The Chicken Souvlaki is pictured with my Easy Soft Flatbread (No Yeast).

3. For a complete Greek feast, as pictured in the post, serve this with a Greek Salad and Greek Lemon Rice Pilaf!

4. Nutrition per serving, assuming 2 skewers per person (excluding toppings and flatbreads).
