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.

The chicken souvlaki was a bit bland for my taste, but the tzatziki sauce was very good. I added some extra spices to the chicken next time I make it.
