chicken souvlaki
Grilled poultry kebabs
Chicken souvlaki is a Greek dish of marinated chicken pieces grilled on skewers, typically served with pita bread, tzatziki sauce, tomatoes, and onions.
The chicken is usually seasoned with olive oil, lemon, garlic, and oregano.
In American Greek restaurants, it often comes as a platter or wrapped sandwich-style: I'll have the chicken souvlaki with extra tzatziki.
