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.

Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, cut your chicken and vegetables into uniform pieces.
- Soak your wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- For a flavorful marinade, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and thyme in a bowl. Let your chicken marinate in this mixture for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- Grill your kabobs over medium heat for about 10-12 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Serve your kabobs with a refreshing Greek yogurt sauce made with Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, and fresh herbs.
