Take note
Before we begin, please handle raw chicken with care and always follow proper food safety guidelines. Additionally, be sure to soak your wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

1

Marinating the Chicken

In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.

2

Preparing the Skewers

Cut boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. Thread the chicken pieces onto soaked wooden skewers, leaving a small space between each piece. This ensures even cooking and helps the chicken stay juicy and tender.

3

Grilling the Skewers

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the chicken skewers on the hot grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and nicely charred on the outside.

4

Preparing the Tzatziki Sauce

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt, 1 grated cucumber, 1 clove of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.

5

Serving and Enjoying

Serve the grilled chicken skewers hot off the grill with a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce. You can also serve them with warm pita bread, sliced tomatoes, red onions, and a sprinkling of crumbled feta cheese. Grab a skewer, dip it in the creamy tzatziki, and take a juicy bite. Opa!
