Greek Souvlaki image

This is posted in response to a request for "skewer" recipes. A real coincidence as this was being prepared on the food network by Nick Makris from Nick's Diner in Regina Sask - it looked SO GOOD I just had to post it. Use pork or lamb - serving with pita bread is optional but tzatziki is a must! Prep time includes a minimum of 2 hours for marinating.

This was the best souvlaki I've ever had! The chicken was perfectly cooked and the tzatziki sauce was flavorful and refreshing. I will definitely be making this again!

The souvlaki was a bit dry, even with the tzatziki sauce. I think I'll try marinating the chicken for longer next time.

The souvlaki was a little bland, even with the marinade. I think I'll add more herbs and spices next time.

This was the best souvlaki I've ever had! The chicken was perfectly cooked and the marinade was flavorful and aromatic. The tzatziki sauce, with its cooling cucumber and tangy yogurt flavor, balanced out the richness of the souvlaki. I will definitel

I'm not sure what happened, but my souvlaki came out dry and tough. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. Maybe I overcooked it? Or maybe I didn't marinate the chicken long enough?

This souvlaki was amazing! The chicken was so tender and juicy, and the marinade was flavorful without being overpowering. I also loved the tzatziki sauce - it was the perfect complement to the chicken. I'll definitely be making this dish again soon!
