Ingredients

- 1/2 cup (125 ml) olive oil
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) lemon juice
- 2 tbsp dried oregano
- 4 garlic cloves, finely grated
- 2.2 lb (1 kg) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or boneless pork loin roast (from the rib end), cubed
- 1/2 tsp salt

Preparation

- In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, oregano and garlic. Set aside 1/3 cup (75 ml) of the marinade in the refrigerator.
- In the bowl of remaining marinade, add the meat and salt. Season with pepper. Mix well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
- Preheat the grill, setting the burners to high. Oil the grate.
- Thread the meat onto metal or wooden skewers (if wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes before using). Grill the skewers for 2 minutes on each side. Continue to grill for 6 minutes, turning the meat over several times. Reduce the temperature of the grill. Using a pastry brush, coat the skewers with the reserved marinade. Cook for another 2 minutes or until the meat is cooked through.
- Serve the skewers with rice, tzatziki and grilled Greek pitas, if desired.
