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.

3 garlic cloves, minced (pressed through a garlic press)
1 teaspoon white vinegar
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • For yogurt sauce: Mix all ingredients and refrigerate overnight.
  • For chicken and veggies: Cut chicken breasts into 2" pieces.
  • Marinate in one of the prepared Good Seasons dressing for at least 1 hour. (The other one will be used for basting)
  • Remove chicken from marinade--discard marinade.
  • Alternately thread chicken, zucchini, onions, and green peppers on skewer (can cook veggies separately from chicken if desired) On separate skewers thread potatoes.
  • Preheat grill until hot.
  • Baste potatoes with dressing and place on grill, turning and basting occasionally--cook until browned.

Tips:

  • 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.
