EASY LOW FAT CHICKEN SOUVLAKI
This is souvlaki without the fat!!! My kids love it grilled in the summer but I sometimes broil it in the oven in winter. The original recipe called for the juice of a lemon plus the zest, but I prefer it without the lemon. Let me know which way you prefer it. This is a crowd pleaser.
