Provided by Lauren Schmidt

Categories     Main Dishes

Time 36m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cucumber
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dill
dash of garlic powder, pepper, & salt
2 pounds chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch cubes
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
4 garlic cloves, minced or grated
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon mint (optional)
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • In a large bowl add olive oil, yogurt, vinegar, garlic, oregano, mint, and salt & pepper to taste. Mix together to combine.
  • Add chicken to marinade, toss to coat. Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Make the tzatziki sauce. Peel the cucumber and use a spoon to scoop out all of the seeds. Finely dice the cucumber and add to a bowl. Add yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, and add a dash of garlic powder, salt, & pepper. Mix until fully combined. Cover and refrigerate at least 20 minutes or overnight.
  • Once the chicken is done marinading you will prepare the kabobs. Heat your grill to medium. You will need 6-7 skewers, metal or wooden*. Slide the pieces of chicken onto the skewers leaving at least an inch on each end.
  • Once grill is to medium heat place the skewers down over direct heat. Grill 8-10 minutes. Flip the kabobs and grill an additional 8-10 minutes, until chicken is starting to golden and cooked all the way through.
  • Serve the kabobs with the tzatziki sauce. My family loves to eat this meal in pitas along with lettuce, cherry tomatoes, red onions, and kalamata olives.
