Marinade

Tzatziki Sauce

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Chicken Preparation

  1. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best flavor.

  2. 3

    Soak Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.

Grilling and Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce

    In a bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (squeeze out excess water), minced garlic, dill, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined. Refrigerate until serving.

  2. 5

    Skewer the Chicken

    Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.

  3. 6

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve the Souvlaki

    Remove the chicken souvlaki stix from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve with tzatziki sauce on the side for dipping.
