Greek Chicken Souvlaki

We cannot say enough about this super easy and delicious souvlaki. We marinated it all day, baked it, and used it on a beautiful dinner salad, and today, we’re using more for pitas. Gahhhh, you’re going to love it! You can prepare it ahead of time, you can grill it on skewers, brown it more – we chose (this time!) to bake in our cast iron skillet. Regardless, it’s low carb, gluten free, keto friendly, and just all around a great healthy meal that tastes amazing!
