Ingredients

500 grams (1 lb) pork tenderloin or chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/4 cup olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Wooden or metal skewers (soaked in water if wooden)
For Serving:

Instructions

Marinate the Meat

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Add the meat pieces to the bowl and toss to coat evenly.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for more flavor.

Prepare the Skewers

Thread the marinated meat onto the skewers, leaving a bit of space between each piece to ensure even cooking.

Cook the Souvlaki

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and has a nice char.

Serve

Enjoy your meal!
