Grilled Chicken Skewers and Homemade Tzatziki

Grilled Chicken Skewers and Homemade Tzatziki


makes about 4 servings

Ingredients:

1.5 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch pieces

1 Tbsp olive oil, or avocado oil

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp cayenne

sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste, about 1/4 teaspoon each


For the Tzaztiki dip:

1 cup plain whole Greek yogurt

1/2 cup seeded, grated cucumber

3 Tbsps chopped fresh dill

2 Tbsps fresh lemon juice

3 fresh garlic cloves, minced

sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste


Serving Ideas: lemon wedges, chopped tomatoes or cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, bell peppers, red onion, etc.


Instructions:

Start by making your Tzatziki dip: combine all ingredients in a bowl/jar, taste test, adjust as desired, then refrigerate until ready to use.


If using wooden skewers, allow them to begin soaking in water for at least 20 minutes, to prevent burning.

Next, preheat your grill to medium-high.


In a medium bowl, add your chicken pieces and sprinkle with oregano, thyme, cayenne, sea salt and pepper, then drizzle with oil, and toss and stir well to coat.


Thread 3-4 pieces of chicken onto each skewer as shown, then arrange them on the grill with some space in between each skewer.


Close the grill lid and cook for about 7 minutes until chicken is cooked through, flipping them a couple of times during cooking time
