Come preparare

1
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes. Pat the chicken dry and cut it into even 3 cm pieces so it cooks at the same rate.
2
In a large bowl, whisk the yogurt, 20 ml of the olive oil, lemon juice, grated garlic, oregano, paprika, 3/4 teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper until smooth.
3
Add the chicken and turn until every piece is coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor.
4
Thread the chicken onto the drained skewers, leaving a small gap between pieces. Brush with the remaining 10 ml olive oil and season with the remaining salt.
5
Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high, about 220°C. Grill the skewers for 10 to 12 minutes, turning every 2 to 3 minutes, until browned and lightly charred on all sides and the thickest piece reaches 74°C.

6
Transfer the skewers to a plate and rest for 5 minutes so the juices settle. Warm the pita on the grill for about 30 seconds per side, just until pliable and lightly marked.
7
Serve the chicken hot with warm pita, lemon wedges, chopped parsley, and tzatziki or a crisp tomato salad.

Perché questa ricetta funziona

Yogurt tenderizes the chicken while lemon, garlic, and oregano create the recognizable bright, savory profile of Greek souvlaki. High grill heat adds smoky char without drying the marinated meat.

Conservazione e riscaldamento

Come conservarla

Refrigerate cooked chicken in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Store pita and fresh garnishes separately.

Come riscaldarla

Reheat the chicken gently in a covered skillet over medium-low heat with a splash of water until steaming hot throughout, or warm it briefly in a 180°C oven.
