Chicken Souvlaki with Grilled Vegetables

I’ve made Chicken Souvlaki once a week for the entire summer.

It’s the perfect go-to for busy nights when you want something healthy, but don’t want to put in a lot of work. Prep one marinade and divide it among cubed boneless skinless chicken breasts and veggies.

Grill. Serve. Swoon.

I like to serve it over Greek lemon rice pilaf. It’s the perfect base to all that grilled goodness. Don’t worry, I plan on sharing the recipe this week!
