Just look at it, it’s tasty, juicy and actually, so easy to make. Let’s go. This makes enough for four if you use four chicken breasts. And fuck me, if you needed that explaining, perhaps you’d be better off with a packet of crisps and a sit-down.

for the souvlaki:
- 4 chicken breasts, cut into chunks
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp dried oregano

- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 4 garlic cloves, minced (of course I am – yep – use this fabulous little mincer – fair enough it’s cheap but it’ll still do what you need it to do)

to make chicken souvlakia you should:
- mix together the garlic, salt, pepper, oregano and lemon juice with the chicken and leave to marinade for about thirty minutes
- meanwhile – prepare the sauce by mixing together all of the sauce ingredients and prepare the salad by chopping everything into neat chunks
- when ready, thread the chicken onto the skewers and grill for about ten minutes each side under a hot grill
- serve with toasted pitta triangles from your HEB and a great big smile because you’ve done ever so well, haven’t you?
