Number Of Ingredients 11

16 bamboo skewers
3 lemons
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
16 chicken tenders, about 1 1/2 pounds
2 cups Greek style yogurt
1/2 seedless cucumber, peeled and grated

Steps:

  • Soak skewers in water for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Thread tenders on damp skewers and cook 7 to 8 minutes, turning once, until firm and juices run clear.

  • Serve 5 skewers per person with dipping sauce alongside.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I usually make a big batch of chicken souvlaki sticks on the weekend, and then I eat them throughout the week for lunch or dinner.
