Instructions
Cut your chicken into medium chunks. In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, garlic, thyme, oregano, cayenne pepper, lemon juice and oil.
Pour on chicken and toss to coat. Make sure all pieces are covered. Cover with plastic wrap or aluminium foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
When chicken is marinated, prepare the 6 skewers.
Heat a grill pan on medium high heat. Add a bit of oil if needed. Place skewers on a grill pan (or regular grill) and cook on each side until nicely browned and cooked through.
For the Salad
In a small bowl, add oregano, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, oil, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. In a large salad bowl, add lettuce, cucumber, grape tomatoes, onion, olives and feta cheese. Pour dressing on vegetables and toss.
Recipe nutrition facts does not include the salad.
Metal or wooden skewers work for this recipe. If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in warm water 30 minutes before cooking so they don't burn or splint in the chicken.
