Greek Chicken Souvlaki

Ingredients

  • 2 chickens, breast fillets
  • 200 gr. brine
  • Pita bread
  • spring onion, finely chopped
  • tomato, chopped
  • lettuce, chopped
  • olive oil

 

For the brine

  • 550 ml of water
  • 1/2 lemon, cut in half
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1/2 bunch parsley
  • 1/2 tbsp. thyme, dried
  • 1 tbsp. honey
  • 35 gr. Coarse salt
  • 2 sk. garlic, with their skins broken
  • 1 tbsp. peppercorns

 

For the sauce

 

  • 4 tbsp. yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp. mustard
  • 1 tbsp. honey
  • lime zest, from 1 lime (optional)
  • 1 tbsp. lime juice, from 1 lime

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180 ° C in air.
  • Pour all the ingredients for the brine in a saucepan.
  • Stir and wait for it to boil. Once it boils, take the pot off the heat and leave it for 1 hour.
  • Once 1 hour has passed, strain into a bowl. It must be completely cold.
  • Cut the chicken into small pieces and put them in the brine. Leave them for 1/2 to 1 hour.
  • Strain our chickens and dry them with absorbent paper. We have to drain whatever material is in the chicken.
  • We take straws and pass the chicken pieces inside.
  • Pour a little olive oil in a hot pan and sauté until the chicken turns brown on all sides for 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to stir it constantly to get a good color.
  • If we shake it constantly, it will take out all its liquids and the chicken will boil.
  • Once they get colored, put them in the oven for 5 minutes to bake.
  • Put our pies in a pan with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake them in the oven for 5 minutes.
  • Mix the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
  • Serve in pies and can be accompanied with chopped tomatoes, tzatziki or any side dish of our choice.
