May 11 2022

Greek kabobs. Fantastic flavor for chicken. Marinade can also be used for pork.

Ingredients

¼
cup olive oil
2
tablespoons lemon juice
2
cloves garlic, minced
1
teaspoon dried oregano
½
teaspoon salt
1
½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite-sized pieces
1
(6 ounce) container plain Greek-style yogurt
½
cucumber - peeled, seeded, and grated
1
tablespoon olive oil
2
teaspoons white vinegar
1
clove garlic, minced
1
pinch salt
6
wooden skewers, or as needed

Step 1
Combine 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large resealable bag. Add chicken, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Step 2
Mix yogurt, cucumber, 1 tablespoon olive oil, vinegar, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1 pinch salt together in a bowl. Refrigerate tzatziki sauce for flavors to blend, 1 to 2 hours.
Step 3
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Soak wooden skewers in a bowl of water for about 15 minutes.
Step 4
Remove chicken from marinade and thread onto the soaked skewers. Discard unused marinade.
Step 5
Cook the skewers on the preheated grill, turning frequently until nicely browned on all sides and chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 8 minutes per side. Serve with tzatziki sauce.
