ometimes, all you need are a few simple ingredients to create some amazing flavors. These Greek skewers are one of those recipes. Bite sized chunks of chicken are marinated with lemon juice, oregano and garlic and can be grilled, baked or cooked on the stovetop.

1. Place chicken and all other ingredients in a Ziploc bag. Squeeze out all the air. Let marinate for min. 2-3 hours, preferably overnight.
2. Skewer the chicken onto metal skewers, or wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for at least 30 minutes. Cook according to your preferred method (below).
3. After cooking, transfer to a serving platter and let rest for 3 minutes before serving.

• Grill Method: Preheat over medium high heat and grill skewers 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through.
• Oven Method: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with a wire rack. Bake for 15 minutes, then broil for a couple more minutes.
• Stovetop Method: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook skewers 6-8 minutes per side.
