- 500g chicken breast, cut into chunks
- 500g beef, cut into chunks
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Metal or wooden skewers (soak wooden skewers if using)
- 4 large potatoes, cut into fries
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup red onion, diced
- 1/2 cup yellow pepper, sliced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce
- In a large bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and beef chunks, toss well, and marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor.
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread meat onto skewers and grill for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred.
- For the fries, preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) or heat oil for frying. Toss potato fries in 3 tbsp olive oil, season with salt, and bake for 25–30 minutes, or fry until golden and crispy.
- Arrange fries on plates, sprinkle with feta, onions, peppers, and parsley, then drizzle with tzatziki sauce.
- Serve the souvlaki skewers hot alongside the loaded fries with extra tzatziki on the side.
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Marinating overnight enhances the flavor.
- Serve with warm pita bread for an extra touch.
- You can substitute chicken or beef with lamb for a different taste.
