How to Make Greek Chicken Breast Souvlaki

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place chicken breasts in a baking dish.
In a bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients: 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for best results.
Bake the chicken for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Alternatively, grill the chicken over medium heat for 10-12 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
Serve immediately with tzatziki dip (recipe #219822), a side salad (recipe #229464), and warm pita bread.
Enjoy your delicious homemade Greek Chicken Souvlaki!
