Chicken Skewers
There are but a few things my whole family can agree on when it comes to savoury, nutritious meals and Greek Chicken on skewers is one of those things. It makes my life so simple when 6 people can come together and all eat the same meal!
My Greek Chicken Skewers are simple and delicious – the best part (aside from the fact that they are super easy to make) is that the recipe is made up of ingredients I typically have on hand in my kitchen – so this is a perfect last-minute meal. It serves 6 to 8 people and although I usually aim for leftovers, in my home, this meal tends to leave me with empty dishes!
