• Green pepper

Marinade

• Garlic cloves
• Dried oregano
• Dried rosemary
• Sweet paprika
• Kosher salt
• Black pepper
• Dry white wine
• Lemon
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Bay leaves

For Serving

• Tzatziki sauce
• Cherry tomatoes
• Cucumber
• Onions

See recipe card for quantities.

Equipment

• 16 – 5” skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes so that they do not burn.

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade

In a small food processor, add the garlic cloves, oregano, rosemary, sweet paprika, salt and pepper, then blitz to combine. Add the white wine and lemon juice, mix, and combine. Slowly add the oil and combine. Blend until the mixture is smooth.

Marinate the Chicken

Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag then add the bay leaves.

Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well-coated.

Cover the bowl or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for better flavour.

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Prepare the Skewers

Thread the marinated chicken pieces and vegetables (optional) onto the skewers, distributing evenly. (1 piece of chicken, 1 piece of red onion, 1 piece of red pepper, 1 piece of chicken, 1 piece of green pepper and I piece of chicken per skewer)

Grill the Chicken

Place the chicken skewers on the preheated grill.

Grill for 3-5 minutes per side until chicken is slightly charred and cooked through. To ensure the chicken is cooked, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 165F (74C)

Once the chicken is done, remove it from the grill to let it rest.

Prepare the Garlic Bread

While the chicken is resting, prepare the Furlani Garlic Texas Toast according to the package instructions.

Assemble the Dish

Add a dollop of tzatziki sauce on the garlic toast, cucumber slices, the chicken skewer, tomatoes, and top with the onions.

Serve immediately and enjoy!
