Chicken Souvlaki

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.

Found recipe online but added my own ingredients and removed some.. But it has become popular here, because every age can enjoy 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

My favourite quick meal

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.

Is costs less to make 4, then to buy 2 at a take out place.

My father asked me to come up with a recipe for this tasty chicken. Named in and served at a particular restaurant, he wanted to enjoy this at home. This is my second attempt that was as close he said to what he remembers. It put a smile on his face and we cleaned the plates on both attempts but this time was even better! For you dad!!
