Hi, I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. I have this great Chicken Souvlaki or Kalamaki recipe, which actually translates into Chicken on a stick. Hmm, anyway in Greece when you go to a Soulvaki Fast Food store, (I call it a fast food store because it’s all put together rather quickly), you can either order the usual Pork souvlaki with pita, or you can order (which I personally prefer), Pork or Chicken Kalamaki along with bread which has been dipped into lemon-oregano-salt-pepper sauce. YummmmmmyyyyWhat I usually do is leave the chicken in the marinade sauce overnight in the refrigerator. This makes the chicken tender and absorbs all the aromas from the ingredients that have been added into it.

This is my version of a recipe I saw on a cooking show in Canada. The word for "eatery" in Greek is "taverna." This sounds like "taberuna," in Japanese, which means "don't eat," so, it's an eating establishment where you can't eat? There are lots of "taverna" in Vancouver and they are very popular.Tzatziki is a versatile sauce that can be used for both meat and salad. Put chicken and salad topped with tzatziki in pita bread for a pita sandwich. I'm in love with this sauce. Recipe by LazyHata

Truly a wonderful souvlaki.

The key to this dish is marinating the chicken. For best results, marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight in the refrigerator and enjoy the next day!About this recipe:This is a recipe passed down from Sana.Greek ingredients can be purchased from online shops such as Nostimia.https://www.nostimia.com

A favorite classic dish, especially in the summer, these chicken souvlaki skewers are very light, marinated in balsamic vinegar and just a little olive oil. They're perfect for grilling on the barbecue, but I usually make them on a grill pan. I’m also sharing a quick, lighter tzatziki recipe here, but of course, use your favorite recipe if you prefer. I like to serve them with salad or rice!

Years ago, two greek sailor friends started a restaurant from their basement apartment, served dinner up the stairs, outside. They didn’t speak enough english yet, so I made pictures of their dishes, with the name of the dish, ingredients and price, and we made a photo album as the menu for each table. I got to taste all their specialties, this is one of my favorites. Comes with home made tzatziki sauce, made from yoghurt, garlic, pickle and mint in five minutes. Serve with olives, pita bread and cold greek white wine, Retsina.

Homemade, aromatic, and super easy! The only thing that takes time is marinating! Here’s a detailed process for making gyros, but... Alternatively, you can leave the souvlaki pieces whole and serve them with rice, mashed potatoes, or whatever you like.

Saturday night and the usual question comes up... 'What are we going to eat?' ... 'I want souvlaki, should we order some?' 'No! We're not ordering, plus the prices have gone way up, and the local place uses so much oil it leaves everything greasy!' So, the chicken that was meant for pilaf turned into two delicious dishes instead!

Were you looking for a recipe for tender and flavorful souvlaki? Well, this is it!!!A few more secretsFor those who don't prefer vegetables in their souvlaki, you can skip them and use only the meat.

An easy one pan dish, the secret to this delicious chicken recipe is the Mediterranean blend of spices in the marinade! #nikicuisineRecipe inspiration: The Mediterranean Dish

This is my version of my mom's recipe. It's always been one of her best dishes. I grew up on this stuff at least every few weeks.

I leave this loose and eat it for breakfast with scrambled eggs kind of a heuvos rancheros style I add salsa and avocado and sour cream on the side
