Souvlaki isn't just a weird word you don't know how to pronounce. (For the record, it's sue-vlah-key.) It's a Greek preparation of meat or vegetables, traditionally eaten off a hot skewer. We nixed the skewer: we don't want accidental mouth stabbings on our watch! But we've kept the tender chicken, spiced perfectly with Greek seasoning and cooked with fresh tomato and onion. We've also kept a potato side, ours tossed with perfectly pungent feta, and the classic garlic-yogurt-cucumber sauce, bringing that perfect hint of cool to the proceedings. Tip: How to get your best zest: use the small holes of the grater, and press into it until the colored skin comes off. Zest as little of the white beneath as possible; the white is called “pith,” and is quite bitter.

If using mahi-mahi, halve and pat dry. Season both sides with seasoning blend. Cook shallot and tomato in Step 3 before adding mahi-mahi. Cook until mahi-mahi reaches desired doneness (medium-rare to well-done), 2-4 minutes per side for medium. Consuming raw or undercooked mahi-mahi may increase your risk for food-borne illness.

1 Prepare the Ingredients
Zest and halve lemon. Cut one half into wedges and juice the other half. Core tomatoes and cut into ¼" dice. Grate cucumber using large holes in box grater. Peel and halve shallot. Slice into thin strips. Cut potatoes into 1" chunks. Mince garlic. Pat chicken breasts dry and, on a separate cutting board, cut into ½" strips. Season with seasoning blend.
-
2 Roast the Potatoes
Place potatoes on prepared baking sheet and toss with 1 Tbsp. olive oil, 2 tsp. lemon zest, and ¼ tsp. salt. Massage oil and seasoning into potatoes. Spread into a single layer. Roast in hot oven until lightly browned and tender, 20-22 minutes. Top roasted potatoes with feta and 2 tsp. lemon juice. While potatoes roast, make sauce.
-
3 Make the Sauce
In a mixing bowl, combine yogurt, cucumber, garlic (to taste), and ¼ tsp. salt. Set aside.
-
4 Cook the Chicken and Vegetables
Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add chicken to hot pan and cook undisturbed until golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Add shallot and stir occasionally until shallot is soft and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 4-5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and cook until warmed through, 1-2 minutes. Remove from burner.
