Lemon — to buy1
Oregano — to buy1 tsp
Garlic — to buy2 cloves

Preparation

Cut the chicken into even cubes about 3 cm, for even cooking.
In a bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, crushed garlic, salt and pepper, then add the chicken and coat it well in the marinade.
Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge (ideally 2 hours): the longer the chicken marinates, the more flavourful and tender it will be.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes beforehand so they don't burn.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, packing them lightly without crowding.
Grill on a barbecue or under the oven grill for 10-12 minutes, turning regularly, until the chicken is nicely coloured and cooked through (cut a cube open to check there is no pink left).
Serve with warmed flatbread, well-chilled tzatziki and crunchy fresh vegetables.
