Souvlaki is the term used by Greeks for shishkabob. This simple dish is created by marinading chicken white meat breast fillets with paprika, a bit of cumin or masala and a bit of turmeric. Salt and pepper is then added before cutting the fillets into strips and skewering them into bamboo skewers. Make sure the bamboo skewers are dipped in water for half an hour so they don't burn while cooking. Cook the Souvlakis not more than 3 minutes on each side so they stay moist.
For garnish, saute slices of onions, tomatoes, eggplant with olive oil, a few drops of balsamic vinegar, some salt and pepper until they turn soft.
The sauce is mainly a yougurt base or you may mix sour cream, salt, a small hot chili pepper and 2 cloves of garlic. You may add a pinch of sugar if you like to make it sweet. Serve all of the above on a platter with pita bread or couscous and sprinkle chopped parsley. Enjoy!!
