Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs), cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Tzatziki Sauce: 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, grated and drained
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill weed, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken pieces and coat well. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  2. Prepare Skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, ensure they are clean.
  3. Assemble Skewers: Thread marinated chicken onto skewers, spacing them evenly.
  4. Grill Skewers: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (400°F). Grill skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until cooked through and golden.
  5. Make Tzatziki Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, dill weed, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
  6. Serve: Plate the grilled skewers with tzatziki sauce on the side. Garnish with fresh herbs or lemon wedges if desired.
