Ingredients

What you'll need

  • 1 lb chicken souvlaki
  • a pinch extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 oz lemon
  • 1/4 cup garlic
  • 2 tbsp fresh oregano
  • 1 cup crumbled feta
  • 3 cloves kosher salt
  • to taste flaky salt
Method

Step by step

  1. Pat the chicken souvlaki dry and season it well so it browns instead of steaming.
  2. Get your pan hot and render the aromatics until they smell sweet and toasty.
  3. Return the chicken souvlaki, add just enough liquid, and simmer until everything is tender.
  4. Taste, brighten with a squeeze of citrus, and plate while it is still hot.
