Time 4h12m

Yield 6 Kabobs, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into bit-sized pieces
6 ounces plain Greek yogurt
1/2 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and grated
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons freshly-squeezed lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 pinch kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the marinade: Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper; place in a large re-sealable plastic bag. Add chicken pieces to the bag, re-seal, and massage the marinade into the chicken. Let marinate in refrigerator for at least 3 hours, and up to 5 hours, turning and massaging bag occasionally.
  • Prepare the sauce: Combine all ingredients and refrigerate for at least 1 to 2 hours to allow the flavors to develop.
  • Soak 6 wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes OR have 6 metal skewers ready.
  • Heat grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove chicken pieces from marinade and thread onto the skewers, discarding the unused marinade.
  • Grill kabobs for about 6 minutes per side, until chicken is no longer pink in the center.
  • Serve with tzatziki sauce for dipping, or make pita sandwiches.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. I've made it with chicken breasts, thighs, and even shrimp, and it's always delicious. The tzatziki sauce is also great on vegetables, pita bread, or as a dip for chips.

I've tried many chicken souvlaki recipes, but this one is by far the best. The marinade is simple but incredibly flavorful, and the chicken cooks up perfectly tender. The tzatziki sauce is also amazing - it's tangy, creamy, and the perfect finishing
