Ingredients

For the marinade:

  • 12 oz chicken breast
  • 1 green pepper
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 lime zest and juice

To serve

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 pita breads
  • 4 kebab skewers

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken breast in equally shaped chunks.
  • In a bowl combine the marinade ingredients with the chicken chunks.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
  • Thread the chicken pieces, alternating with pepper chunks, on the skewers.
  • Heat the olive oil in the pan, over high heat. Cook the chicken souvlaki (skewers) for about 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until nicely coloured on all sides and cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken skewers from the pan. Add the pita bread into the pan and cook for 1 minute from each side. Serve the chicken skewers on the pita bread.
