Souvlaki Chicken

2-1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken tenders or breasts (tendons trimmed)
1/2 c. olive oil
1/3 c. lemon juice
1 Tblsp. garlic flavored red wine vinegar (or plain)
1 Tblsp. minced garlic
1 Tblsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. dried thyme


Rinse and pat chicken dry. Cut into 1-2 inch cubes & place into a container.

Combine remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir together with a whisk. Pour marinade over chicken & seal with a tight fitting lid. Gently toss chicken in marinade to coat each piece well. Place in refrigerator to marinade overnight.

To get ready to grill, remove chicken from refrigerator. Allow meat to come to room temperature. Drain marinade from chicken and place meat onto skewers.

Grill meat for 12-15 minutes, turning often or until chicken cooked completely through and juices run clear. You may also bake your chicken in a 350* oven or grill on top of your stove. Simply follow the turning instructions above and cook until meat is completely
done. Cooking time will vary depending on the method used.

Serve with whole wheat pita bread and Tzatziki sauce.
