Take note
Handle the skewers with caution as they may be hot. Make sure chicken is cooked thoroughly before consuming.

1

Prepare the marinade

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of dried dill, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.

2

Marinate the chicken

Cut 1 pound of chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Place the chicken pieces in a ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag tightly and massage it gently to ensure all the chicken is coated in the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.

3

Preheat the grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent them from burning.

Skewer the chicken

Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece. This will help the chicken cook evenly.

5

Grill the skewers

Place the chicken skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char. If desired, brush the skewers with a little olive oil while grilling to enhance their flavor.

6

Serve and enjoy

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve the Tzatziki chicken skewers with a side of tzatziki sauce, pita bread, and some fresh cucumber slices. Enjoy your delicious Mediterranean feast!
