Ingredients

Chicken Souvlaki

  • 6-8 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces (I used 1 large chicken breast)
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Tzatziki Sauce

  • 3 ounces plain Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cucumber peeled, seeded, and grated
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • ½ clove garlic minced
  • ½ pinch salt

Serve With

  • pita bread
  • red onions thinly sliced
  • tomatoes sliced
  • cucumbers sliced
  • Kalamata olives
  • feta cheese

Instructions

2 hours Before Eating

  • Place the chicken souvlaki marinade ingredients in a Ziploc bag, seal and shake. Add the chicken and marinate for 2 hours.
  • Make the tzatziki sauce by mixing together all the ingredients. Place in a bowl and store in the fridge for 1-2 hours.

When ready to cook

  • Thread the chicken onto skewers, place in the air fryer basket and on the skewer rack. Cook at 380F/190C for 5 minutes. Bump up to 400°F/200°C for another minute or 2, or until chicken reaches 165°F/74°C.
  • Remove the skewers from the air fryer basket.
  • Assemble grilled chicken souvlaki pitas. First, spread Tzatziki sauce on the pita, add chicken pieces (off the skewers) then add veggies, olives, and feta. Enjoy!
