Chicken Souvlaki With Tzatziki Sauce
- Kabobs
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into bit-sized pieces

- For the marinade: Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper; place in a large re-sealable plastic bag. Add chicken pieces to the bag, re-seal, and massage the marinade into the chicken. Let marinate in refrigerator for at least 3 hours, and up to 5 hours, turning and massaging bag occasionally.
- Prepare the sauce: Combine all ingredients and refrigerate for at least 1 to 2 hours to allow the flavors to develop.
- Soak 6 wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes OR have 6 metal skewers ready.
- Heat grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove chicken pieces from marinade and thread onto the skewers, discarding the unused marinade.
- Grill kabobs for about 6 minutes per side, until chicken is no longer pink in the center.
- Serve with tzatziki sauce for dipping, or make pita sandwiches.
