Items needed to answer the question, How do I make Tzatziki chicken skewers. Items include:  Greek yogurt  Lemon juice  Garlic cloves  Dried dill  Dried oregano  Salt  Pepper  Chicken breasts
  • Greek yogurt 1 cup
  • Lemon juice 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic cloves 2
  • Dried dill 1 teaspoon
  • Dried oregano 1 teaspoon
  • Salt pinch
  • Pepper pinch
  • Chicken breasts 1 pound

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.

4

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!
