Chicken Souvlaki - Greek chicken
A healthy Greek dish called “souvlaki”: Meats are skewered and grilled. They are often served with fresh salad and wrapped in a pita bread. It is also eaten with yogurt sauce called tzatziki.
Grilling is the best cooking method, If you have a barbecue set. If you are frying in a pan or broiling in the oven, I recommend high heat.
Add some salad, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, black olives or lettuce and it is refreshing and healthy.
