It's a fun dinner for the whole family: just add a few warm pita breads and a smile. The spices here are the ones I like best with chicken, but feel free to use your favorites and make your own perfect chicken souvlaki.

Ingredients

Method
- Peel the onion and purée it in a food processor.
- Finely chop the rosemary and put it in a large bowl with all the spices and the rest of the marinade ingredients. Mix well.
- Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces, add it to the marinade and mix again.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate in the fridge for 30–60 minutes.
- Thread the chicken pieces onto skewers until you have used them all.
- TipIf you use wooden skewers, soak them in water for 1 hour so they don’t burn on the grill.
- Grill on a barbecue or under the oven broiler at medium heat, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
- Serve with fresh ripe tomatoes, garnish with parsley and, if you like, add a squeeze of lemon.
