Preparing Greek Chicken Souvlaki with Lemon Rice is simple if you follow these clear steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, making sure they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or longer if time allows).
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, place it over medium-high heat on the stove.
4. Skewer the Chicken: Thread marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
5. Cook the Chicken: Grill the skewers for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Set aside and cover to keep warm.
6. Make the Lemon Rice: In a medium saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add the rice, lemon zest, butter, and salt.
7. Simmer the Rice: Lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is fluffy and broth is absorbed.
8. Fluff the Rice: Once cooked, remove from heat and fluff the rice with a fork. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
9. Serve the Dish: Arrange the skewers on a plate alongside a generous serving of lemon rice. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
