Chicken Souvlaki Kebabs with Tzatziki Sauce

Chicken Souvlaki Kebabs with Tzatziki Sauce

Ingredients

Serves 4

1 lbs / 453 gr free-range organic chicken breast, cut into chunks

Marinade

4 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon fine grain sea salt

Ground black pepper to taste

Tzatziki sauce

1 container (6 oz) plain Greek yogurt

1 small cucumber, peeled and grated

3 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon fine grain sea salt

1 tablespoon fresh mint, finely chopped

Directions

In a small bowl stir olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and black pepper.

In a shallow sealable container or in a large Ziplock bag, combine chicken chunks and marinade. Cover or seal and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours (marinate overnight for fullest flavor.)

In the meantime make tzatziki sauce by combining all ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.

Remove chicken chunks from the marinade and skewer onto bamboo sticks that have been soaked in water for 5 minutes. Discard unused marinade.

Heat a grill or a grill pan to medium-high (if you’re using an outdoor grill lightly oil the grill grates.)

Grill the chicken kebabs, until cooked through and nicely browned on all sides and chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 8 minutes per side.

Serve with tzatziki sauce.
