Method
 

Chicken Skewers

  1. Marinate the Chicken:

    Combine 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 teaspoons dried oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl. Thoroughly coat the chicken breasts, cover, and allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. Make Tzatziki Sauce:

    Grate the cucumber finely, press out excess moisture, then mix with Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Refrigerate while the chicken cooks.
Tzatziki

  1. Grill Chicken Skewers:

    Slice the marinated chicken into bite-sized cubes and thread onto skewers. Grill over medium heat for 10–12 minutes, turning every so often, until browned and fully cooked.

  2. Serve with Tzatziki:

    Serve the chicken skewers with a generous spoonful of tzatziki. Garnish with additional dill or a lemon wedge if desired.
