Chicken Souvlaki with Rice Pilaf

Ingredients

• 1½ lbs Chicken breast
• 6 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 tbsp Lemon juice
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 tbsp Dried oregano
• 1 tsp Salt
• ½ tsp Black pepper
• 1 medium Red onion
• 2 medium Bell peppers
• 1½ cups Long grain rice
• 3 cups Chicken broth
• 2 tbsp Butter
• ½ medium Onion
• 2 tbsp Fresh herbs (parsley/dill)

Steps

1. Cut chicken breasts into 1.5-inch cubes and place in a bowl.
2. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
3. Pour marinade over chicken, toss to coat, and refrigerate for at least 15-30 minutes.
4. While chicken marinates, prepare rice pilaf: melt butter in a saucepan and sauté diced onion until softened.
5. Add rice to the pan and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
6. Pour in chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover. Simmer for 15-18 minutes until rice is tender.
7. Cut red onion and bell peppers into chunks. Thread marinated chicken, onion, and peppers alternately onto skewers.
8. Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through.
9. Fluff rice with a fork and stir in fresh herbs.
10. Serve chicken souvlaki skewers over rice pilaf with lemon wedges on the side.
